Monse Tome brings another twist to his roster in the Selection… Sin Paredes, Misa and Jenny Hermoso and Claudia Pina are back! | Relief

New list from Spain, some important questions – Misa, Jenny Hermoso and Irene Paredes – and great news: Claudia Pina is back. Montse Thome hit the table again with her call-up to the national team. In these rays of light La Roja arrives for a friendly match against South Korea in Cartagena (November 29, 19:00, La1) and against France in Nice (December 3, 21:00, La1). Two matches to cap off a bittersweet 2024 that began with a Nations League title and European Cup qualification and was a strange Olympic debut – she won no medals despite being favourite.

All this is left behind and The national team aims to end the year with two moral triumphs, with two goals in mind. On the one hand, to come with the best face to the League of Nations, in which they are defending the throne and already know their rivals (England, Belgium and Portugal), and to the European Cup, which will be held next summer in Switzerland. On the other hand, leave behind the doubts of the draws with Canada and Italy (both games ended 1:1) on the last FIFA date.

These two results at half speed and the big buzz in their latest list brought even more attention to the Spanish coach’s statement. There are several questions on the table to raise anticipation: Will Irene Paredes and Misa return? Will the two chapters of Las 15 close with the return of Lola Gallardo and Claudia Pina? Will Cristina Martin-Prieto repeat herself?…

The responses were developed as the regular RFEF video announcing those summoned progressed. With Laia Aleijandri, who was injured during the last break and still out, or Athena del Castillo, who broke her collarbone a week ago and will be out for two to four months, missing, several must-see events were expected. Although Monse Tome took out her own coaching license to take things further.

Misa remains absent, retaining the same goalkeepers as at the last break. Neither Irene Paredes, who did not return after the Olympics, nor Jenny Hermoso. As for the first two, their absence is emphasized and leaves a latent suspicion that this is a technical solution. Meanwhile, the Madrid striker plays her team in the Mexican League final (first leg on Friday and return leg on Monday). Although this did not affect Lucia Garcia, who will also challenge her as Jenny Hermoso’s rival and who is on the list.

In the surprise section, Pina returned, one of the 15 who have not yet returned, and new names were included such as Maite Zubieta, Berta Pujadas and Maca Portales. In addition, the Asturian’s latest squad constantly exudes a flavor that includes players such as Martin-Prieto or Amaiur, which remained: only four changes (two of them caused by the already mentioned injuries) compared to the previous one.
