Irene Paredes was unable to make her 100th appearance for Spain on Tuesday because of a “computer error”, says head coach Montse Tome.
Spanish media reported the error meant a teamsheet from Spain’s previous match, which Paredes missed, was submitted to Uefa.
The injured Amaiur Sarriegi was instead named on the official squad list.
“There was some kind of computer problem,” said Tome.
“I was told about it at the hotel so I had to adapt to the situation. From there, we chose the 11 that you saw.”
Paredes could win her 100th cap when Spain face Italy in the Women’s Nations League on 1 December.
She was expected to return against Switzerland after injury kept her out of Spain’s 1-0 win over the Italians last week.
Only two players – Alexia Putellas and Jenni Hermoso – have played 100 times for Spain’s women’s team.
Putellas scored twice against Switzerland, while women’s Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati played 77 minutes.
Spain lead their Nations League group with 12 points after four matches, five points ahead of Sweden.
