Paris: Spain midfielder and two-time Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati is being treated in hospital for viral meningitis, the Spanish football federation (RFEF) said on Saturday.
Bonmati missed Friday's friendly win over Japan in the world champions' final warm-up match before the start of Euro 2025 next week.
The RFEF said in a statement that Bonmati was "under ongoing medical observation" after tests led to her being diagnosed with viral meningitis.
Bonmati, 27, did not train on Thursday after feeling unwell and later posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed watching the 3-1 victory over Japan.
Spain coach Montse Tome said after the match she was unsure if Bonmati would recover in time to play at the European Championship, which runs from July 2-27 in Switzerland.
