The 27-year-old missed the recent 3-1 friendly victory over Japan in Leganes after skipping training and being admitted to hospital in Madrid for treatment.
Bonmati, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner, was discharged on Sunday but is unlikely to feature in Spain’s opening group match against Portugal in Bern on Thursday.
The Spanish coach expressed her support, saying the team will wait for Bonmati’s recovery for as long as necessary, highlighting her importance to the squad.
The European Championship kicks off on Wednesday, with reigning World Cup champions Spain entering as strong favourites to lift the trophy.
Bonmati has been a vital figure for her national team, scoring 30 goals in 78 appearances, and playing a crucial role in Spain’s triumphs at the 2023 World Cup and 2024 Nations League.
She was diagnosed with meningitis — an infection affecting the membranes around the brain and spinal cord. While the condition can be serious if untreated, the viral form, which is more common, usually improves within a week to ten days with rest and care.
