Forward Jenni Hermoso has been named in the Spain squad for the first time since winning the World Cup.
Ex-Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales kissed Hermoso during the World Cup trophy presentation, which she says was not consensual.
The kiss sparked outcry and Rubiales eventually resigned and was given a restraining order.
Spain are set to play Italy and Switzerland in the Nations League.
Spain’s World Cup success this summer was overshadowed by Rubiales’ actions during the celebrations after the final whistle.
World Cup-winning manager Jorge Vilda was also eventually sacked and is being investigated as part of the criminal case against Rubiales, but has since been appointed manager of the Morocco women’s team.
Rubiales was banned from going within 200 metres of Hermoso after she filed a legal complaint.
At a court case in Madrid, the former federation president has denied sexually assaulting and coercing Hermoso.
When new head coach Montse Tome named a squad for the Nations League fixtures in September it included 15 members of the World Cup-winning side, but Hermoso was left out, with Tome saying it was “to protect her”.
The Spanish players threatened a boycott of last month’s friendly against Sweden – their first match since the World Cup final – but called it off after reaching an agreement with the RFEF, which said it had committed to “immediate and profound changes”.
Instead, the players of both the Sweden and Spain teams stood together holding a banner reading “se acabo” which translates to English as “it’s over” and wore wristbands bearing the same phrase.
A week later at their first home match since the World Cup they stood alongside the Switzerland players with the same banner.
Hermoso, who has made 101 appearances for Spain and scored 51 goals, was not named in the squad for those matches.
The 33-year-old returned to her domestic team, Pachuca in Mexico, in September and her statement to prosecutors in court in Madrid last month has since been made public.
She told prosecutors that she felt “disrespected” as a player and a person and that her image has been tarnished by the RFEF.
