The Spanish football federation (RFEF) announced on Sunday that Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati had left hospital after treatment for viral meningitis.

The RFEF statement revealed that the Barcelona player would now link up with Spain's Euro squad "in the coming days", although she is unlikely to figure in their opening matches.
Spain begin their Women's Euro 2025 campaign against neighbours Portugal next Thursday in Bern. They are also drawn with Belgium and Italy in Group B.
Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Viral meningitis is less serious than the rarer bacterial variant, which can lead to death within 24 hours.

Michelle Kang takes over as president of Ligue 1 team Lyon as John Textor resigns
American businesswoman Michele Kang has taken over as president of seven-time French champion Lyon after John Textor resigned following the club's relegation over financial irregularities. The South Korea-born Kang is also majority owner of the Lyon's women's team — OL Lyonnes — and has been on Lyon's board of directors since 2023. Lyon said in a statement that Kang will play an 'active role' in leading the club's appeal against the relegation handed down last Tuesday by the French league's soccer watchdog, known as DNCG. The case is expected to be heard within the next week. That ruling could also decide whether Crystal Palace will be allowed to play in next season's Europa League, which Lyon also qualified for. Textor also held a 43% stake in Palace — which he has agreed to sell to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson — and UEFA has rules against clubs with the same owner playing the same competition. Lyon added that Textor has also resigned from the board of directors. He became Lyon president three years ago, taking over from longstanding incumbent Jean-Michel Aulas, who sold to Textor's Eagle Football Holdings. The 66-year-old Kang will be supported in her role by Michael Gerlinger, the general manager of Eagle Football Holdings. 'A highly respected figure in European football administration, Michael brings over two decades of experience in governance, regulatory affairs and sports operations,' Lyon said in its statement. Why did Lyon get relegated? Lyon's run of Ligue 1 titles from 2001-08 made it the powerhouse of French soccer. Since Paris Saint-Germain took over at the top, fortunes have steadily dipped for Lyon. The decision to relegate the club followed an audit of its finances by the DNCG, with Lyon's current debt estimated at 175 million euros ($203 million). The DNCG had already provisionally relegated Lyon to Ligue 2 in November, with the club reporting at the time that it had more than 500 million euros ($581 million) of debt. A transfer ban was also imposed in the January transfer window. News of Lyon's relegations was met by dismay from Lyon fans, with one historic supporters group — The Bad Gones — leading calls for Textor's immediate resignation. The club shop was tagged with a blunt message urging him to go. A Champions League finalist five years ago, Lyon narrowly lost to Manchester United in the Europa League quarterfinals this season and missed out on a cash windfall when it failed to qualify for next season's Champions League after finishing sixth in Ligue 1. Three weeks ago, Lyon received a much-needed cash injection by selling coveted playmaker Rayan Cherki to Manchester City for 36 million euros, while high earners like forward Alexandre Lacazette left the club. But it wasn't enough to convince the DNCG that Lyon's books were in order, a task which now falls to Kang. Ligue 1 resumes in mid-August with Lyon scheduled to play at Lens if it wins the appeal. More about Michelle Kang Forbes estimates Kang's worth at $1.2 billion. Kang assumed majority ownership of Lyon one year after taking over the Washington Spirit women's team in 2022 when average gates were around 3,000. They are now around 15,000. She also heads Kynisca Sports International, a women-led, multi-team global sports organization. Last November, she pledged $30 million to U.S. Soccer over five years for women and girls — the largest single investment specifically for women's and girl's programs in the federation's history. As well as her donation to U.S. Soccer, in August 2024 her Kynisca Sports organization set up a $50-million (£39.2 million) global investment fund to help improve the health and performance of elite female athletes. Lyon's women's team — a record eight-time Champions League winner — will enjoy a new, female-specific training campus when it opens in July 2026. The women's team will also share the Groupama Stadium with the men's side. Last season's women's Champions League semfinal against rival PSG attracted 38,466 spectators. ___ AP soccer:

Real Madrid eye move for U19 Euros sensation Kees Smit
Real Madrid are exploring a summer move for AZ Alkmaar's Dutch sensation Kees Smit, according to Diario AS. Los Blancos manager Xabi Alonso is eyeing a top midfielder in the transfer window, and Smit has emerged as a concrete option. Advertisement The 19-year-old recently broke the headlines after leading the Netherlands to the European U-19 Championship. He netted four goals and an assist in five games to bag the Player of the tournament award. After impressing with Jong AZ in the Eerste Divisie, Smit made his breakthrough with the first team last season. He featured in 18 games in the Eredivisie and bagged a goal and an assist on his Europa League debut against Fenerbahce. Smit has a higher ceiling and can excel in various phases of the game. He carries a significant goal threat, is an excellent passer and is defensively solid. His contract runs until 2028, and AZ would try to keep hold of Smit, whose stock has skyrocketed in a short period. Smit would be tempted by the prospect of playing for Madrid, but the talks are in the early stages. Advertisement Los Merengues have been monitoring Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller and Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Larsson, but they do not see them as feasible options. Madrid have a packed midfield with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos and Arda Guler. Yet, they do not want to miss out on a prodigious midfielder like Smit, who can strengthen their talent pool and be a player for the future. The Spanish giants have signed Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono this summer.
