Bonmati, who has won the Ballon d'Or for the past two years, was absent for her country's 3-1 friendly win over Japan on Friday as she received treatment at a Madrid hospital. She was discharged on Sunday.
The Spanish Football Federation shared photos on social media of the 27-year-old arriving at the team hotel late on Monday.

A post on X read: 'And when we thought the day had given its all… @AitanaBonmati trains again with @sefutbolfem in Switzerland. What a joy to have you back, Aita!'
The arrival of Bonmati, who has scored 30 times in 78 matches for her country, will be a big boost for the world champions, but it remains to be seen when she will be available to play.
Spain begin their Euros campaign in Bern on Thursday with a Group B fixture against Portugal.
They will then face Belgium in Thun on Monday before concluding the group phase against Italy back in Bern.

‘Worst outcome for any football match' – Fans baffled at bizarre kit quirk during Lionesses semi-final with Italy

FANS were left flabbergasted after spotting a bizarre kit quirk during England's semi-final against Italy in the women's Euros. Viewers began questioning why both teams were wearing their away kits, when the team's home colours kits don't appear to clash. 3 England dumped their traditional white shirt and deep blue shorts, while Italy wore light green on Tuesday night in Geneva. The Italians home colours are the iconic Savoy azure, deemed the national colour of Italy. This wouldn't have necessarily clashed with England 's white jersey, but the Lionesses home kit does include blue shorts - which are nearly identical in colour to Italy's home kit. Sarina Wiegman's side home uniform also includes blue strips around the collar, chest and sleeve ends.

England vs Italy LIVE: Women's Euro 2025 semi-final latest score

England take on Italy tonight in Geneva for a place in the Euro 2025 final as the Lionesses look to defend their European Championship crown. It's been a nervy tournament so far for England, who came from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals. Build-up to this semi-final has been marred by the news that Jess Carter has been the subject of online racist abuse, with the defender announcing she would be stepping back from social media as a result. The Lionesses have also confirmed they will no longer take the knee before matches, saying: 'It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism.' Sarina Wiegman has a couple of selection dilemmas to deal with, including whether or not to drop Carter who struggled in the victory over Sweden. Captain Leah Williamson came off with an ankle injury during the quarter-final and returned to training on Monday but it remains to be seen if she is fit enough to start.
