The Spanish football federation urged 39 striking players to return to the women's national team on Monday, Sept. 18, ahead of new coach Montse Tome's first squad announcement.
Spain won the Women's World Cup in August but the four weeks since have been filled with controversy and turmoil after former president Luis Rubiales forcibly kissed midfielder Jenni Hermoso.
The 46-year-old eventually resigned after unprecedented criticism and faces a legal battle over sexual assault and coercion after his kiss, while controversial coach Jorge Vilda was sacked in the wake of the incident. Spanish reports Monday said none of the 39 players still striking would make themselves available for the squad to face Sweden and Switzerland in the Nations League, which Tome will name at 1630 local time .
The statement appears a last-ditch attempt to lure the players, including two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas, back.
