Aitana Bonmati, the Spanish midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner, has been hospitalized due to viral meningitis, prompting England's coach Sarina Wiegman and player Jess Carter to express their well-wishes for her recovery. Wiegman emphasized the importance of having top players like Bonmati in tournaments, highlighting the excitement they bring to competitions. Meanwhile, Spain's coach Montse Tome mentioned the uncertainty surrounding Bonmati’s return to the team after their pre-tournament friendly victory against Japan, as she recovers from her illness.
First of all I hope she's all right and I hope she recovers well and that she can come back with the team and play, because everyone wants to see players like Bonmati [at the Euros]. You want the best players from Europe being involved in tournaments, because that's exciting, that's what people come to watch - the best players from Europe.
Obviously it's really sad hearing of anyone becoming unwell, and we all just want her to get better soon and [we] wish her all the best. And then hopefully after recovering, she gets to the tournament and continues to put on the performances that she does.
