Spain forward Jenni Hermoso has spoken about returning to the squad for Friday's Nations League semi-final against Sweden, describing the moment she was recalled by coach Sonia Bermudez after a year-long absence as one that brought her to tears.

Spain's all-time leading scorer with 57 goals returns for the game at La Rosaleda in Malaga after being left out by the country's former head coach Montse Tome, who stepped down in August following defeat by England in the Euro 2025 final.

"I have to admit that I cried," Hermoso, 35, told Radio Television Espanola. "It was a moment that I have waited a long time for and I've been working for a long time.

"To continue at this level and to be able to enjoy football with the national team is the reward for all that work."
