Spain is forced to do without one of its biggest stars in this summer's European Football Championship. Barcelona player Jennifer Hermoso is plagued by a stretched ligament in one knee and thus misses the championship which will be decided in England between 6 and 31 July. This is confirmed by the Spanish Football Association on its website.
The 32-year-old midfielder has been one of the world's foremost on the women's side over the past year and finished second in the Ballon d'Or poll last winter.
According to the Spanish Football Association, it will soon be announced who will take Jennifer Hermoso's place in the European Championship squad.
