😲 At risk of missing the Euros: world's best player in hospital
The Spanish Football Federation confirmed that the player did not participate in the recent friendly match against Japan due to fever. After medical tests, doctors found that she suffers from viral meningitis. Although this variant is generally less severe than bacterial meningitis, it requires rest and hospital follow-up.

National coach Montse Tomé acknowledged that the situation is worrying but under control. In a press conference, she explained that there is no fixed timeline for the player's recovery, but the coaching staff still hopes that she will be available during the tournament. "We will wait for her until the end," she said.
Bonmatí herself shared a photo from her hospital bed on social media, cheering on her teammates while watching the game on TV. Her message sparked a wave of support from fans, teammates, and women's football personalities.
Spain will travel to Switzerland in the coming days, where they will make their debut against Portugal on July 3. Bonmatí's possible absence would be a significant setback for the national team. They are confident that the midfielder will be able to reintegrate into the group dynamic with improved performance.

Joao Felix says late Jota 'will forever be part of football history'
Joao Felix said Monday that Portugal team-mate and close friend Diogo Jota will "forever be a part of football history" following the Liverpool star's death aged 28. Jota was killed along with brother Andre Silva when their Lamborghini went off the road in northern Spain on July 3. Just 11 days prior to the accident, the Portuguese forward had married Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children. The Premier League remembered Jota over the weekend in a series of moving tributes. Adding his voice to the outpouring of grief across the football world, Felix looked visibly moved as he spoke about his good friend and international colleague. Felix, who was among the mourners at the brothers' funeral, said: "Diogo to me was one of my best friends in the national team, he was always part of our mini group in the national team, those of us who were always together. "I knew his family, especially his parents, an incredible family." Speaking in Hong Kong, where Felix is with his new team Al Nassr for this week's Saudi Super Cup, the 25-year-old added: "I think he will forever be a part of football history, he will remain in the hearts of those who were already close to him. "After that day, every time we go on the field we will remember him and play in part for him." The attacker Felix joined fellow Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr late last month from Chelsea in a move reported to be worth up to 43.7 million pounds ($58 million). Felix, who has also played for Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan, will reportedly earn $10 million a year. pst/mtp

LaLiga: Espanyol – Atlético, an opener already under pressure?
LaLiga: Espanyol – Atlético, an opener already under pressure? The curtain rises this Sunday at the Cornellà stadium. Espanyol host Atlético de Madrid to kick off a season full of both promise and uncertainty. The Catalans know exactly where their priority lies: securing survival. Edu Expósito, one of the team captains, has made it clear time and again. Still, with a solid preseason under their belts (four wins and a draw in five matches), Manolo González's side are hoping to spring a surprise. New signing Miguel Rubio, in excellent form, is set to make his debut in the starting lineup on opening day. Atlético, on the other hand, arrive with a point to prove. The disappointment of the recent Club World Cup still lingers, but Simeone has reshaped his squad. Seven new faces have joined: Raspadori, Álex Baena, Thiago Almada, Johnny Cardoso, and Marc Pubill among them. These fresh arrivals bring energy and internal competition. Griezmann, Koke, and Oblak provide leadership for an ambitious generation. In their two preseason matches, Los Colchoneros defeated Newcastle (0-2) after an earlier setback against Porto (1-0). The predicted lineups suggest a balanced clash, with young talents to watch on both sides. Espanyol are aiming for peace of mind, Atlético are chasing the title. And this opening duel already promises to reveal a lot.

La Liga: Athletic vs Sevilla, a tense opener
La Liga: Athletic vs Sevilla, a tense opener This Sunday, San Mamés plays host to a clash between two clubs living very different realities. Athletic Bilbao has its sights set on European competition, while Sevilla FC is focused above all on avoiding relegation. On the Basque side, the summer has hardly been reassuring. Just one win in seven friendlies, and that was against Ponferradina. Six defeats, including losses to Alavés, PSV, and Racing, have left fans worried. The squad, weakened by injuries, is lacking in stability. Ernesto Valverde will have to improvise in defense, though the return of Aitor Paredes to training is a welcome boost. Sevilla also arrives with its own set of problems. Their preseason was inconsistent, with a fragile defense and only one notable victory, against Schalke 04. Injuries to Nianzou, Jordán, and Isaac Romero are a heavy burden. But the real headache is financial. No signings, no departures, and a salary cap that even prevents some players from being registered. The crisis is shaking the club and supporters are growing restless. Despite everything, Matías Almeyda remains upbeat. The Argentine coach emphasizes solidarity, youth, and fighting spirit. His philosophy is clear: play without fear, no matter the doubts. Athletic wants to start strong. Sevilla needs to survive. The showdown promises a tense battle from the opening matchday.
