This represents a significant challenge, especially considering that the majority of the drops have affected the defence, after the injuries of Irene Walls (muscular injury in the previous rectum of the thigh) and Jana Fernández (injury in the left thigh). Besides, in the list of drops also appear Alexia Putellas (annoyances in his left knee), Fridolina Rölfo (problems in the meniscus of the right knee) and Bruna Vilamala (elongación muscular in the cuádriceps of the right thigh).

In case of emergency, also they could act in this position Marta Torrejón and Patri Pebble.
