Alexia Putellas, midfielder for FC Barcelona and a key figure in the Spanish national team, will be sidelined for three weeks due to a calf injury (triceps surae) in her right leg, as reported by the Catalan club this Saturday. This injury not only rules her out of the upcoming Liga F match against Costa Adeje scheduled for this Sunday, but also Spain's friendlies against France and South Korea.
Despite this setback, initial forecasts suggest that the player will be ready in time for the crucial UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City, scheduled for December 18 at the Estadi Lluís Companys.
This development adds to a growing list of injuries for the Barça squad, which already includes Martina Fernández, Fridolina Rolfö, and Salma Paralluelo, the latter currently undergoing readjustment following her own injury.
