Women’s world champions Spain have been plunged into further chaos after players refused call-ups to their latest squad. Fifteen World Cup winners were included in the squad for the Nations League games against Sweden and Switzerland, despite saying they would boycott international duty. A group of 81 players, including all 23 members of the World Cup squad, indicated three weeks ago that they would not play for Spain again while Luis Rubiales remained Spanish football federation (RFEF) president as a result of his behaviour at the final. Rubiales caused a huge controversy after kissing midfielder Jenni Hermoso – who has been left out of the latest squad – on the lips during the medal ceremony following the team’s 1-0 victory over England. Hermoso insists she did not consent to the kiss. Amid increasing pressure, Rubiales finally resigned from his post last week, but 39 players, including 21 World Cup winners, released a statement on Friday saying that was not enough to trigger their return to national-team duty. The players said they were not yet “in a safe place” to return and that the problems at the RFEF ran far deeper than Rubiales. However, despite their pledge to boycott, many were still named in Monday’s squad by new head coach Montse Tome, who said Hermoso had been left out for her own protection. In response, the players released a statement on Monday night which read: “What was expressed in our statement of September 22, 2023, makes clear and without any option for another interpretation our firm will not to be summoned for justified reasons. These statements are still fully valid. “During the days following that statement, we want to make it known to the public that nothing different has been transmitted to any member of the RFEF, so we expressly ask that the information transmitted publicly be rigorous. “As elite professional players and after everything that has happened today, we will study the possible legal consequences to which the RFEF exposes us by putting us on a list from which we had asked not to be called for reasons already explained publicly and in more detail to the RFEF, and with this make the best decision for our future and for our health. “It does seem relevant to us to point out, in this sense, that the call has not been made in a timely manner, in accordance with article 3.2 of annex one of FIFA’s regulations on the status and transfer of players, so we understand that the RFEF is not in a position to require us to go.” New head coach Tome said Spain were still “counting on” Hermoso, despite her omission from their first squad since lifting the World Cup. “We stand with Jenni,” she told a press conference. “We believe that the best way to protect her is like this, but we are counting on Jenni. “It’s the start of a new phase, the clock is ticking. There is nothing behind us and we really want to connect with these players.” Rubiales has been banned from going within 200 metres of Hermoso as the national court in Madrid considered a complaint of sexual assault, something the 46-year-old denies. Tome had been due to name her squad on Friday, but the announcement had to be delayed. Barcelona’s Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro, who were not included in Spain’s World Cup party after signing a letter protesting against former manager Jorge Vilda, who was sacked during the fallout of Rubiales’ actions, were included in Monday’s squad.

WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 21, 2023--

The former chairman of the Football Association, David Berstein, has criticised English football’s response to the terror attacks in Israel. Talks are set to begin on whether there will be a display of solidarity at Wembley ahead of Friday’s friendly against Australia, following the deadly attacks by Hamas militants over the weekend. It has become common for the FA to light up the Wembley arch in the colours of nations affected by major tragedies, but Bernstein, who is Jewish, has been critical of the lack of response from the organisation. Bernstein, who was chairman of the FA from 2011 to 2013 told The Telegraph: “I am shocked, hurt, but not totally surprised that the Football Association has not yet had time to consider its reaction to the murder of nearly 1,000 people. “I note how speedily it has reacted to other situations and I would welcome an explanation as to why the tragedy in Israel should be perceived so differently by the FA. “I also note this is in stark contrast to our Government, and particularly the Prime Minister, who has found time to respond appropriately to this horrendous situation.” Last year, the Wembley arch was lit up in the colours of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion of the country, while there was a display of solidarity before the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea that weekend. There have been other displays in the UK since the terror attacks on Israel, with the national flag projected onto No 10 Downing Street and City Hall in London. However, there has yet to be a decision on whether there will be a display on Friday when England host Australia at Wembley. The chief executive of the FA, Mark Bullingham, told reporters in Nyon on Tuesday that the organisation had been busy preparing the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland’s bid for the 2028 European Championships. The Premier League has yet to decide whether it will show solidarity to Israel, but the English top-flight has more time to evaluate a plan given the international break runs until next weekend. There are fixtures in the Women’s Super League this weekend, however. England play Australia on Friday in an international friendly before hosting Italy in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, also at Wembley, on Tuesday. Uefa has announced that Israel’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Switzerland has been postponed until November. Uefa has also postponed all matches scheduled in Israel over the next two weeks.
