Montse Tomé’s decision
The Spanish national team faces today in the semi-finals of the Nations League against the Netherlands at La Cartuja in Seville (9 p.m.). If they win, they will certify their ticket to the Olympic Games in Paris this coming summer. The excitement among the soccer players is maximum. They all want to be there, including Alexia Putellas who is in Seville despite not having a medical clearance and not playing since November.
Alexia’s situation
Alexia Putellas’ call-up has generated controversy and strained the relationship between Barça, the Spanish federation and Alexia herself. The surprise for her presence in the Montse Tomé list was total, but much more the words that the coach said three days ago, in which she expressed the expectation that Alexia would be on the field tonight.
Uncertainty about their participation
The question about Alexia’s presence in today’s match was forced in yesterday’s press conference. Montse Tomé gave no clues and prolonged the unknown and the anxiety, especially what is breathed in Barcelona. After the afternoon training, it will be decided which 23 players will finally enter the list for the match.
The expectation
Alexia’s presence in training normally and with the group suggests that the Barcelona captain will be in La Cartuja today, even if it is to make a group. The final decision on his participation will be made after the afternoon training.
