Spain defender Paredes misses Women's Nations League game because of computer glitch

Spain coach Montse Tomé said after the team’s 7-1 rout of Switzerland in the Women’s Nations League that a computer error kept Paredes from being added to Spain’s official match squad. “There was some kind of computer problem, I was told about it at the hotel,” Tomé said. “I had to adapt to the situation and I went with the starting 11 that you saw.”

Spanish media said the Spanish soccer federation was not able to properly update the game squad in UEFA’s official application. Instead, the squad from the previous match — in which Paredes was not included because she wasn’t fit — was in the system. headtopics.com
