- Debbie Hewitt makes claims in written submission to Fifa
- Rubiales also accused of stroking face of Laura Coombs
Luis Rubiales kissed Lucy Bronze “seemingly forcefully” and “cupped the face” of her England teammate Laura Coombs after the Women’s World Cup final in August, the Football Association chair has claimed.
The incendiary claims were made in a submission by Debbie Hewitt to a Fifa disciplinary committee investigating Rubiales’s behaviour after Spain’s World Cup triumph. In response, Rubiales accused Hewitt of “absolutely disgusting” behaviour and “suggesting [he is] some form of creep”. The committee ultimately suspended Rubiales from football activity for three years.
