A feud between Spanish players and Spain women's coach Jorge Vilda appears to have come to an end after three of the 15 players who were previously frozen out of the national setup were called up for this year's Women's World Cup on Monday.
Vilda left the group out of his squad for a pair of friendlies against Sweden and the United States, with Spain earning a 1-1 draw against the third-ranked Swedes and claiming a 2-0 upset of the four-time World Cup winning Americans. Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas was also included in the squad after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament that forced her withdrawal from last year's European Championship.
"If these three players are here it is because they are committed to the national team and by extension they can play in the World Cup."
