Hermoso is not in Spain’s squad for their Nations League games against Sweden and Switzerland.
“It’s the start of a new phase, the clock is ticking. There is nothing behind us and we really want to connect with these players.”
Amid increasing pressure, Rubiales finally resigned from his post last week but 39 players, including 21 of Spain’s World Cup winners, released a statement on Friday saying that was not enough to trigger their return to national-team duty. The players said they were not yet “in a safe place” to return and that the problems at the RFEF ran far deeper than Rubiales.
Rubiales has been banned from going within 200m of Hermoso as the national court in Madrid considered a complaint of sexual assault.However, new Spain coach Tome – who had been due to name her squad on Friday after replacing the sacked Jorge Vilda – has now included 15 of the world champions in her 23-player squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Sweden and Switzerland.
Barcelona’s Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro – who were not included in Spain’s World Cup squad after signing a letter protesting against Vilda – have been included.
