Alexia Putellas has not played since November. A knee injury kept her out of the competition and she even had to undergo surgery last Christmas. That's why she surprised everyone, especially FC Barcelona, when she was called up by Montse Tomé to play against the Netherlands in her quest to be in the Olympic Games. Finally, the Barça player has been, along with Teresa Abelleira, one of those ruled out.
The Spanish coach had to send the list before Wednesday at 11:59 p.m., which is why it was not until this morning that it became known that Alexia Putellas was ruled out for the match.
Tomé assured that the call-up of two players who had not fully recovered from their injuries was due to trying not to give "clues to the rival." De Putellas pointed out that he "is doing well in his readaptation process and training what he can."
This Wednesday he came to train with the rest of the group, which set off all the alarms at FC Barcelona. The player ends her contract this summer and has not yet renewed. The relationship is currently under enormous tension.
Spain's list to play against the Netherlands is as follows: 1 Mass, 2O. Batlle, 3Vicky López, 4Paredes, 5M. Méndez, 6Aitana, 7Paralluelo, 8Mariona, 9Redondo, 10J.
