Barcelona's Caroline Graham Hansen Sidelined With Right Adductor Injury

The club is targeting her return for the May 23 Champions League final in Oslo.

Overview

  • Barcelona said the Norway winger has a right adductor injury and will miss the next matches under a managed recovery plan.
  • She is expected to sit out the season's last three games, likely including the Copa de la Reina final against Atlético de Madrid on May 16 in Las Palmas.
  • The plan aims to have her available for the Champions League final against Olympique Lyon on May 23 in Oslo.
  • Hansen leads Spain's Liga F with 10 assists in 20 matches, so her absence removes a key source of chance creation for Barça.
  • She left the Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern in the 56th minute with what her coach called minor discomfort, foreshadowing the injury.
