ENGLAND forward Alessia Russo hopes the aftermath of the Luis Rubiales trial brings about change and reiterated her side’s solidarity with the Spanish women’s team.
Last week, the Audiencia Nacional court imposed an 18-month fine equating to €20 (£15) a day on former Spanish football federation president Rubiales, who was found guilty of sexually assaulting Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso during the medal ceremony following the World Cup final with England in 2023.
The sides face each other on Wednesday at Wembley for the first time since Spain triumphed in that Sydney final, with England now set to take on the world champions in the second encounter of their new Nations League campaign after drawing 1-1 with Portugal on Friday night.
