Hermoso Out of Spain's Euro 2025 Squad: Coach Explains the Decision

Spain's Women's Euro 2025 Squad Announcement: Jenni Hermoso's Absence Explained Madrid, Spain – The Spanish women's national football team coach, Montse Tomé, recently addressed the notable absence of star player Jenni Hermoso from the Euro 2025 roster. In a short video released by Teledeporte, Tomé explained that the decision was based on a comprehensive evaluation of all players, and not a reflection of Hermoso's individual skills. "With Jenni, I spoke at the beginning of this year... we have done the same work with her as we have done with everyone," Tomé stated. The coach also noted that Hermoso's performance at Tigres and conversations with her coach were factored into the decision. Tomé acknowledged the difficulty of selecting only 23 players from a talented pool of athletes. The final squad, announced on June 10th, features other notable players such as Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas, Aitana Bonmatí, and Vicky Losada, indicating the high level of competition for places in the team. This decision, while difficult, underscores the commitment to building a strong and competitive team for the upcoming tournament.
