Aitana Bonmati, the star midfielder for Barcelona and the Spanish national team, suffered a significant injury during training on Sunday. The incident took place just before Spain’s clash with England in the second leg of the Women’s Nations League final. Bonmati sustained a fractured left fibula after landing awkwardly in an unintentional collision with a teammate.
Following the injury, Bonmati had successful surgery on her fractured fibula. She used social media to keep friends and family updated on her condition, including this post right after surgery saying, “Surgery went amazing!! Sadly, the impact of the injury will have her out for the next five months. This latest injury will cause her to miss the entire season.
That’s not to take anything away from Bonmati, who has been indispensable for Barcelona this season. He has been in 15 matches and 13 of them he has started. Her contributions have been vital in helping the team clinch a domestic treble last season. This campaign, she has netted six times and assisted three. This brilliant performance comes as everybody already knows her as one of the very best in women’s football.
Bonmati will be missed tremendously by both Barcelona and the Spanish national team. She was an integral part of their high-profile recent campaign. After her arrival, Spain qualified for the Euro 2025 final against England, though the team was unable to win, falling in penalties.
As she turns her eyes toward her recovery, Bonmati took time to reflect on her rise in elite football. She expressed her determination to overcome this setback, stating, “Now it’s time to regenerate physically and mentally.” Her strength and commitment to the sport will certainly help her as she begins the long road to rehabilitation.
