Luis Rubiales: Spanish football federation threatens to sue Jenni Hermoso
The Spanish football federation says it will take legal action over Jenni Hermoso's comments about its president Luis Rubiales.
Rubiales has refused to resign after kissing forward Hermoso on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win over England in Sydney. Hermoso said on Friday she did not consent, but the federation has questioned her version of events.
The federation also said that, if selected, players have "an obligation" to play for the national team, after 81 female players said they will not represent Spain until Rubiales is removed from his post.
Semra Hunter, a football journalist at LaLiga TV, says the events "seem to be making him stronger - he seems untouchable."
