Spain call up 15 Women's World Cup winners but Jenni Hermoso was left out

A large number of players boycotted the team after then football federation boss Luis Rubiales kissed forward Hermoso following last month's final.

This was the first squad announcement by new coach Montse Tome, who replaced Jorge Vilda - considered a close ally of Rubiales - after he was sacked earlier this month.

Tome, who was Vilda's assistant manager, has become the first woman to hold the position of Spain women's boss.

It is unclear if the players who have been called up have ended their strike, with Tome saying she had spoken to those selected but was unwilling to reveal what was discussed.

Earlier on Monday, the Spanish football federation (RFEF) had urged striking players to return to the national team.
