Women's EURO 2025: Spain vs Portugal

Spain are unable to call upon Arsenal defender Laia Codina and Real Madrid midfielder Teresa Abelleira due to injury.

Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati was recently discharged from the hospital after undergoing treatment for viral meningitis, and while she has linked back up with her teammates, she is unlikely to play in Thursday’s opener.

As a result, Tome could give Vicky Lopez the opportunity to start in the middle of the park alongside Patri Guijarro and Alexia Putellas.

Meanwhile, Portugal are without the services of veteran forward Carolina Mendes, who will miss the tournament through injury.

Barcelona attacker Kika Nazareth has been included in the squad despite the fact that she is still recovering from an ankle injury that has kept her out of action since March.

Portugal's third-highest ever goalscorer, Diana Silva, should provide one of her country's main attacking outlets in Thursday's contest, with the Sporting Lisbon star set to partner Jessica Silva in the forward line.

Spain Women possible starting lineup:

Coll; Batlle, Mendez, Aleixandri, Carmona; Lopez, Guijarro, Putellas; Caldentey, Pina, Gonzalez

Portugal Women possible starting lineup:

Teixeira; F.Pinto, Costa, Seica; Borges, Jacinto, Norton, T.Pinto, Amado; D.Silva, J.Silva
