The head office was doubt for the next crash of League F of this Saturday (16:30 hours) in front of the SD Eibar, because of a cervicalgia. However, this Friday suffered the injury of knee during the training, which fortunately has not affected any of the ligaments of the knee. In spite of this the gravity also is high when treating of the external meniscus, one that also is used to to give recoveries from among 4 to 6 months.

This setback in the Barça Femení joins to the of the also defence Irene Walls, that lesionó with the Spanish selection, as well as the one of the captain Alexia Putellas. The Barça explains also with drops very important like the ones of Jana Fernández, Bruna Vilamala and Fridolina Rolfo. Like this, the Barcelona defence is crossing one of his worst crises regarding absences, by what Giráldez could give minutes to other less usual players or out of his usual position, as Marta Torrejón.
