Spanish women's soccer coach denies punishing star player by leaving her off the squad.

Spain's women's soccer team coach, Montse Tome, denies punishing star player Jenni Hermoso by omitting her from the squad after the forced kiss incident involving former federation chief Luis Rubiales. Rubiales is on trial for sexual assault and coercion, with prosecutors seeking a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence. Tome insists Hermoso was left out due to insufficient training and to protect her from media pressure, not as punishment.
