Kika Nazareth injured: 4-5 weeks out for Barcelona
A muscle injury to her right thigh leaves her out of four Liga F matches and two Champions League ties.
Barcelona have confirmed that Portugal international Kika Nazareth has a myofibrillar injury to the rectus femoris of her right leg and will be sidelined for four to five weeks. The club announced it on Sunday, and she will miss the Liga F matches against Badalona Women, Madrid CFF, Deportivo and Athletic Club, plus the Champions League games against Arsenal and Servette.
It is a fresh setback for the player, who had problems with the same muscle back in September. With her out, Barça add another name to a list of absentees that already included Irene Paredes, Vicky López and Laia Aleixandri.
According to Mundo Deportivo, coach Pere Romeu has called up young players Julia Torres, Noa JimĂ©nez, RosalĂa and Mayssa to complete the squad for Badalona Women.
