The roster for September UEFA Nations League matches vs. Sweden and Switzerland will be shared today. Still, the footballers have sent a joint email to the RFEF claiming that they need more time before being able to compete for the national team again.
It is reported that 41 footballers inked the statement, including all players who triumphed with the World Cup in August.
That triumph has been overshadowed by the resigned Royal Spanish Football Federation president, who kissed on the lips Jenni Hermoso during the award ceremony.
Rubiales is now sued, but he claims that everything that happened was consensual. But Jenni tells otherwise and is yet to see what will happen in the court in the upcoming months.
