Women's World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso returned to training with the Spanish national team on Monday for the first time since disgraced former president of the country's football federation Luis Rubiales resigned.

The 33-year-old has become a symbol in the fight against sexism and earned global support after Rubiales forcibly kissed her on the lips following Spain's triumph in Sydney on August 20.

Hermoso took part in Spain's training session at Las Rozas, on the outskirts of Madrid, applauded by scores of fans, including many children, who braved bad weather to support their idol.

Spain's No 10, who plays for Pachuca in the Mexican league, was called up by coach Montse Tome for the two upcoming Nations League matches, in Italy on Friday and Switzerland on October 31.
