Bonmati, 27, was then ruled out of Spain’s clash with Japan – which they won 3-1 at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.

The Barcelona star then shocked her 1.9million followers on Instagram with a post of herself in a hospital bed.

The midfielder could be seen with an IV in her arm as she watched the match on TV.

She added an emoji of a flexing arm to suggest she is fighting strong.

Marca have reported that she underwent multiple medical tests and was diagnosed with viral meningitis.

She has been treated with intravenous medicine and at the moment, there is no return date pencilled in for her.

The report has suggested that there is “confidence” that she will have recovered in time for Spain’s Euros campaign.

Spain manager Montse Tome is giving Bonmati all the time she needs in order to make the travelling squad.

She said: “Aitana is a very important player, and we’re going to wait for her until the end.

“The only information I have is that we don’t know the timeframe.

“If I say anything, I’d be wrong because I’m not a doctor. She’s a very important player.”

Spain travel to Switzerland tomorrow ahead of their Euros opener against Portugal on July 3.

Bonmati has earned 76 caps and scored 30 goals in international football.

She was a part of the Spain team that beat England‘s Lionesses in the World Cup final in 2023.

She won the women’s Ballon d’Or in both 2023 and 2024.

In February, Bonmati insisted that Luis Rubiales’ conviction of sexual assault after kissing Jenni Hermoso on the mouth was right.

The infamous incident happened after Spain won the World Cup in 2023.

The former Spanish Football Federation boss was fined £8,274 but was spared a prison sentence.

And she hopes the outcome of the case, which sparked nationwide protests in her country, has set an “important precedent”.

The veteran broadcasters worked on Soccer Saturday for decades alongside former footballers and journalists.

Kamara quit in 2022 due to problems with Apraxia of Speech after viewers noticed him slurring his words.

Stelling followed a year later, bringing an end to his 25-year stint with Sky Sports.

Match reporter Bianca Westwood was also in attendance – she left Sky Sports in 2023.

While Soccer Saturday producer Alan Condo also attended the dinner, leading one fan to suggest: “The best ones turned up… fabulous photo.”

The comment came in response to Kamara’s caption, which read: “Soccer Saturday reunion dinner Only 5 turned up but still a fabulous night – Condo (producer) – Champagne Charlie – Bianca and of course the Unbelievable Jeff Stelling ”

Fans loved the reunion with one commenting: “The original. And still the best.”

Another added: “It’s not about quantity but quality! Perfect dinner x”

ANDY FARRELL cranked up the pressure on his Lions to beat Western Force today.

Farrell has made 13 changes from the side that flopped against Argentina in Dublin and urged the new-boys to seize their opportunity.

With three weeks to go until the First Test in Brisbane, the Lions must start the Australian trip with a bang.

And anything less than a sound beating of a side who finished ninth out of 11 in Super Rugby would be a massive setback.

Boss Farrell said: “They’ve got to take responsibility and grab a hold of their chance to make sure they take this team forward.

“We’ll see how we respond. The guys taking the field this weekend are a little bit fortunate in the sense that they understand how we want to get better.

“Part of the whole package is dealing with their own expectation and the pressure we put on ourselves. That’s why we were disappointed last week.

“I put a lot on them because I want to see how they deal with the pressure.”

Force have scrum-half Nic White — described by Eddie Jones as the “biggest niggler” in rugby — leading the side after he was released by the Wallabies.

Farrell added: “It’s a great side full of Australians who are in the here and now and people with the ambition to be future Australian Test players.”
