: Jenni Hermoso was on Wednesday included in the Spain women’s squad for the first time since the scandal over the unsolicited kiss former federation president Luis Rubiales gave her following the Women’s World Cup final in Australia.
Rubiales was the head of the Spanish football federation at the time, but he has since resigned following an outcry over the kiss, with 39 players striking from the national team to demand changes.The scandal also led to the dismissal of coach Jorge Vilda, who was replaced by Tome, his number two. Spain play Italy on October 27 and Switzerland on October 31. Spain currently sit top of their group with two wins from two and will be looking to move closer to booking a place in the finals.Rubiales last month appeared before a court in Madrid which is considering a complaint of sexual assault against the 46-year-old over the kiss.
