Barcelona Women Hit by Late Injuries Before Copa Tie, Call Up Five From B Team

The depleted squad will rely on academy reinforcements for Sunday’s round-of-16 trip to Vitoria.

Overview

  • Barcelona visit Alavés in the Copa de la Reina round of 16 on Sunday at 19:00 in Vitoria.
  • Cata Coll is ruled out with a sprain of the internal ligament in her left knee sustained in the final training session.
  • Mapi León misses the match with a contusion to her left ankle, and Marta Torrejón is absent for personal reasons with club permission.
  • The club’s new absences come on top of four existing injuries, prompting coach Pere Romeu to promote five B‑team players.
