Montse Tome settles Jorge Wilda’s debt to Leila Ouhabi, who returns to the national team after the Las 15 trials | Relief
Leila Wahabi returns to the national team and is one of the news of the course. The Manchester City defender is included in the squad in place of Olga Carmona, who is experiencing physical discomfort. The Real Madrid player will not participate in the start of the team’s training camp under the leadership of Montse Thome.
This is news because the last time Leila Ouhabi received a call from the national team was after the Euro 2022 championship, on September 2. The call revealed the Las 15 conflict, marking a “before” and “after” in Spanish women’s football.
After those days, 15 national team players sent an email to the RFEF, announcing their resignation from the national team because “The situation created significantly affects their emotional state and health”. Among them is Leila Wahabi. The former Barça player no longer wore La Roja. Although the conflict softened over time and there were several players who were willing to return to the national team and eventually did so, this did not happen with Leila.
The Manchester City left-back reported her availability but Jorge Vilda decided not to include her in the 23 players heading to the now-historic World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “My eyes are watering,” he admitted on “I Wanna Be Like This” a few weeks ago, recalling that moment. “I missed the World Cup, which was one of the most important things a player can miss. I remember those were very difficult moments,” she added.
Leila’s good shape
The truth is that Leila is experiencing one of the best moments of her career. He earned Gareth Taylor’s trust by becoming Manchester City’s left-back. In her second season with the English team, Layla played a total of 1,405 minutes in the league, scoring her first goal in the tournament.
“I can’t stay in the past, I continue to work in case such an opportunity presents itself at some point,” she admitted to Relevo about a possible return to the national team. “Now I feel at a very good level. For my part, I work and train every day to play the best I can for City.” Your work and your patience have just been rewarded.
The national team’s training session began today at Ciudad del Futbol at 16:00, with the first training session open to the public starting at 19:00. The expedition will travel to Vejle on Wednesday for their first match against Denmark on day one, with the return match against the same opponents taking place on day four at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez in Tenerife.
