Aitana Bonmatí is one of the great doubts in Spain for the debut in Euro 2025. Barcelona's footballer had to be admitted before the friend Viral meningitis. “We will see the deadlines,” added the Asturian.
The truth is that the Catalan midfielder He received hospital discharge last day 29 And, although he did not fly to Switzerland with his companions last Sunday, it is planned to return to the group in the next few days, as reported by the RFEF, but it is impossible to put an exact date, and the possibilities that he can play this Thursday against Portugal in Bern are losing strength.
However, you don't have to light the alarm lights much less. Spain is the great candidate for the title, Aitana aims to be back during the group stage and, as if that were not enough, The Red has not gone badly without that of Sant Pere de Ribes on the pitch.
Only two stumbling blocks
The current Golden Ball He made his first appearance with the national elastic in November 2017. He stayed on the bench before Serbia, but Jorge Vilda gave him a quarter of an hour in the next match against Austria, replacing Amanda Sampedro, with the score completely decored in favor of ours (4-0).
Aitana Sum 78 internationalities with the absolute, of which, 52 They have been in official matches. Only 12 commitments of this character have been lost, and the balance of the selection is 10 victories, a draw and a defeat, that arrived with a lot of controversy in the World Cup six years ago. The United States appealed to ours thanks to two penalties converted by Megan Rapinoe.
Bonmatí did not have any minute, as in the meeting of the third day of the first phase against China, in a match that ended without goals and earned Spain to be second.
This has gone to the red without the Barcelona player on the grass:
- Serbia 1-2 Spain (Classification for the World Cup, 2017)
- Finland 0-2 Spain (Classification for the World Cup, 2018)
- Austria 0-1 Spain (Classification for the World Cup, 2018)
- Spain 5-1 Finland (Classification for the World Cup, 2018)
- China 0-0 Spain (World Cup 2019)
- Spain 1-2 United States (World 2019)
- Spain 3-0 Hungary (Classification for the World Cup, 2022)
- Spain 5-0 Ukraine (World Cup classification, 2022)
- Belgium 0-7 Spain (Classification for Eurocup, 2024)
- Spain 3-1 Czech Republic (Classification for Eurocup, 2024)
- Denmark 0-2 Spain (Classification for Eurocup, 2024)
- Spain 3-2 Denmark (Classification for Eurocup, 2024)
The only struggles arrived in the World Cup, when Spain was not as dominant as now. In the rest of the games, full of triumphs with 33 goals and 5 against (6 doors to zero).
The same situation as in 2022
Two days after starting the last Eurocup, in July 2022, Spain also lost to the one who was then a Golden Ball, Alexia Putellas, which broke the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. It took almost 10 months to return to the playing land.
There was no problem to advance beyond the group stage, although The first position of the group escaped against Germany on the third day, which forced ours to be measured in rooms with Englandin the dessert champion.
Sarina Wiegman's pupils dramatically traced the red, which had been advanced through Esther González. She Ann Touone tied at 84 'and, in the 96th minute of the extension, Georgia Stanway put her team ahead, which had gone to tow throughout the night.
What injury does Aitana Bonmatí have and how long does it take to heal?
Viral meningitis that Aitana has suffered is a inflammation of meninges, responsible for protecting the brain and spinal cord. In mild cases, as seems to be that of the Catalan, the estimated recovery time is 7 to 10 days, So it could arrive for the second day of the group stage against Belgium, whom Spain has already won without Bonmatí in April 2024, or in the last against Italy.
This disease can leave a sequel such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating or headache, although Most patients usually recover without any problem.
“Thanks to everyone for the messages received and you have helped me these days. Fortunately everything is going well, I hope to return soon,” Barça's midfielder published in an Instagram story on June 29. Spain, although you know how to fix them without it, you are also looking forward to you can dress again as soon as possible.
