The FC Barcelona Women’s team is facing challenges following the recent international break. Kika Nazareth, a promising addition to the azulgrana squad this season, has suffered a muscle contusion due to a knock sustained during her time with the Portuguese national team. The club has confirmed that the forward will be sidelined for approximately one week, missing upcoming fixtures.
Nazareth played the full 90 minutes in Portugal’s match against the Czech Republic, where she even scored a goal. However, she returned with discomfort, which Barça’s medical team has classified as a minor injury. Consequently, she was unavailable for Barça’s victory over Betis on Saturday, December 7. Her participation in the upcoming Women’s Champions League match against Hammarby in Sweden is now uncertain.
If her recovery goes as planned, Kika Nazareth could make her return to action on December 15 against Valencia and is expected to be fit for the crucial encounter against Manchester City on December 18 at Montjuïc.
