Some of the Spain players who had said they are boycotting the national team have turned up for international duty.

Players launched the boycott after the Spanish football federation’s former president Luis Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso after the Women’s World Cup final last month.

Six players living in Madrid arrived at a hotel in the capital city before leaving to join up with the rest of the team in Valencia, where they will train before heading to Sweden on Thursday for a Nations League game.

The six include five players from Real Madrid – Olga Carmona, who scored the winning goal in the World Cup final win over England, Misa Rodriguez, Oihane Hernandez, Teresa Abelleira and Athenea Del Castillo, and Atletico Madrid forward Eva Navarro.
