In the wake of the diagnosis, the player was immediately pulled from national team duties to begin treatment and a structured recovery. Medical staff have diagnosed a grade two sprain of the inner lateral ligament of the right knee. This type of injury typically calls for rest, a progressive return-to-play program, and vigilant monitoring before resuming high-intensity soccer. The head coach, Jorge Vilda, will determine replacement options once medical updates and player availability are reassessed in the coming hours. (Federation medical update)
Born in Madrid, the striker has long been a pillar of the squad, emerging as one of the team’s most influential performers. As one of the three captains, she brings leadership and a depth of experience that extend beyond her on-field roles. Since late May, she had endured persistent knee discomfort that limited participation in recent fixtures, including the final stages of the Queen’s Cup. This cautious approach reflects a broader strategy to protect key players while preserving competitive depth for the tournament. (Federation medical update)
Coach Vilda has highlighted the significance of the team’s attacking network and the wealth of experience the forward provides. Although discussions with the medical staff suggested the possibility of a swift return, it was ultimately decided that joining the squad for training sessions would not be feasible. The coaching staff remains vigilant, ready to adjust plans to maintain momentum ahead of the championship, while also exploring alternative tactical options and ensuring squad balance in light of the injury.
