Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas returns to the group after nearly 10 months out.
Barcelona's star midfielder has returned to training with the group after a long injury layoff that has seen her miss the Women's Euros and the entirety of this season up until this point.
Putellas is one of the best female footballers in the world, and she is the awardee of the Ballon d'Or in the two previous editions.
Putellas returns from injury
The 29-year-old midfielder suffered an ACL injury in the build-up to Euro 2022 and needed to undergo surgery which ensured she missed the tournament, and has been out of action ever since.
