MADRID, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Some of the rebel players from Spain's World Cup-winning women's squad who had threatened to boycott the national team in a push to stamp out sexism at the football federation (RFEF) on Tuesday reported for training under the threat of being sanctioned.
Two sources close to players said they were expecting the whole squad to report in view of the threat of sanctions.
Asked as she arrived at the hotel whether she was happy to have been selected for the team, Misa Rodriguez replied: "No."
Hermoso was not on the squad list announced by new coach Montse Tome on Monday, which included 15 of the 23 cup-winning players.
