MADRID (AP) — Three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí will be out of action for about five months after successful surgery on her broken leg on Tuesday, Barcelona said.

Bonmatí broke her left fibula in training with Spain on Sunday. The injury ruled her out of Spain’s final against Germany in the Women’s Nations League on Tuesday. The teams drew 0-0 in the first leg on Friday.

Bonmatí was hurt after landing awkwardly in an accidental collision.
