Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking her leg in training.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old fell awkwardly during a morning practice session at the national team’s training base in Las Rozas, Madrid, on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Spain were preparing for the second leg of their Uefa Women’s Nations League final against Germany at the Estadio Metropolitano on 2 December.<\/p>\n

Bonmati played 77 minutes of last Friday’s first leg, which finished goalless<\/a>, in Kaiserslautern.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Royal Spanish Football Federation said that “following tests carried out by the medical services” Bonmati was “diagnosed with a fracture in her left fibula”.<\/p>\n

Bonmati will return to Barcelona to begin her rehabilitation and the injury setback is a disappointing end to what has otherwise been a stellar year for the player.<\/p>\n

She became the first player to win the women’s Ballon d’Or three times, achieved a domestic treble with Barca and reached the Euro 2025 final with Spain.<\/p>\n

Bonmati was also named the Champions League’s player of the season by Uefa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking her leg in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-292542","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
