MADRID (AP) — Aitana Bonmatí rejoined Spain's squad on Monday after being hospitalized with viral meningitis, giving the world champion a boost three days before its opening match in the Women’s European Championship. The Spanish Football Federation showed photos of Bonmatí arriving in Switzerland and meeting with coach Montse Tomé. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner was hospitalized after falling ill with a fever late Friday, putting her participation in the tournament in doubt.
