Bonmati Leaves Hospital, Euro 2025 Hopes Still Alive

Released After Successful Treatment

Barcelona and Spain lynchpin Aitana Bonmati has been allowed home after three days of care at Barcelona’s Hospital Clínic, where she was treated for viral meningitis. Doctors report the infection is under control and the Ballon d’Or winner has begun a strictly monitored recovery programme at her residence.

Spain Keep the Door Open

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed in an overnight statement that Bonmati remains on the provisional 23-player list for Euro 2025 in Switzerland. Head coach Montse Tomé will wait “until the last possible moment” before ruling on the midfielder’s availability for the July 3 opener, mindful that FIFA regulations permit a medical replacement only up to 24 hours before the first match.

What Happens If She Misses Out?

Should Bonmati fail to pass the final medical, Tomé is expected to turn to Levante playmaker Maria Méndez or Atlético Madrid’s Eva Navarro, both already on standby. Training plans have been redrawn to allow tactical flexibility, with captain Alexia Putellas rehearsing a deeper role to compensate for Bonmati’s absence.

Club & Country Watching Closely

Barcelona’s medical staff are liaising daily with their RFEF counterparts; the Liga F champions are determined to avoid any relapse that might jeopardise the player’s long-term health or the club’s pre-season tour in August. Bonmati’s workload is being tracked via remote monitoring, and a return-to-play assessment is pencilled in for next week.

Opinion: Caution Beats Risk

As monumental as Bonmati is to Spain’s tactical balance, meningitis is no minor setback. For once, silverware should take a back seat to safeguarding a generational talent’s future. If there is even a hint of risk, Spain must resist temptation and let their maestro heal fully.
