Aitana Bonmatí Suffers Broken Fibula in Spain Training, Out for Months

Spain now faces Tuesday’s Nations League decider in Madrid without its playmaker.

Overview

  • The Spanish federation confirmed the 27-year-old sustained a broken left fibula during a training session at Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas after a bad landing.
  • She will miss the Nations League final second leg against Germany at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on Tuesday.
  • She is returning to Barcelona to begin recovery, with Catalan media estimating a layoff of at least two months that could extend beyond three if surgery is required.
  • Her absence removes Barcelona’s leading midfielder from league, cup and Champions League campaigns in the coming months.
  • This marks a second major setback in 2025 after a June hospitalization for meningitis, and reports suggest coach Sonia Bermúdez may look to teenager Vicky López to step in.
