WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Spain star Alexis Putellas has quit training early, raising doubts she will be fit to play against Costa Rica in their opening match at the Women’s World Cup on Friday. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner has played only six matches as a substitute for Barcelona since April when she returned after a 10-month layoff with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. Putellas started in two of Spain’s World Cup warmup matches, against Panama and Denmark, but missed the match against Vietnam in New Zealand last week.
