Manager says England stand in solidarity with SpainThe two countries play at Wembley on Wednesday
Sarina Wiegman has said Jenni Hermoso is showing “remarkable courage and bravery” with her decision to lodge an appeal following the conviction of Luis Rubiales for sexual assault but acquittal for coercion.
Last week Rubiales was found guilty of sexual assault for kissing Hermoso without consent during the medal ceremony of the World Cup final in 2023, with the court ruling he pay a €10,000 (£8,290) fine. However, Rubiales and his three co-defendants were cleared of the charge of coercion, for having allegedly put pressure on Hermoso to say the kiss was consensual. Rubiales has said he too will be appealing.
