Most of Spain’s international footballers have agreed to rejoin the squad, the government said Wednesday, following a strike by the World Cup winners over the disgraced former president of the federation forcibly kissing a player.
The announcement followed hours of negotiations over player demands for further changes at the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) after ex-president Luis Rubiales resigned.
A total of 19 players from new coach Montse Tome’s squad had been on strike over changes they want made to the RFEF, sparking concerns they would not play in upcoming Nations League games.
Spain plans to fly to Sweden on Thursday morning before their match in Gothenburg on Friday.
