(Reuters) - Spain midfielder and double Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas left the women's national team training camp in Madrid on Monday due to a knee injury that has kept her out of recent matches for her club Barcelona.

Putellas has been carrying left knee discomfort following a knock suffered on Nov. 14 in a game against Benfica in the Champions League. She will miss the Nations League fixtures against Italy on Dec. 1 and four days later against Sweden.
