Jenni Hermoso has rejected claims from Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales that she consented to his kiss during Spain's World Cup final celebrations, after Rubiales refused to resign over the incident.
The forward released a joint statement via her union FUTPRO on Friday co-signed by Spain's entire World Cup squad -- as well as 58 former players -- who said they would not return to play for the national team while Rubiales remains in charge.
It follows a week of controversy, criticism and widespread condemnation of Rubiales' behaviour after Spain's World Cup win in Sydney.
