Mariona Caldentey injures her hamstrings and misses Barça vs Arsenal
The Arsenal midfielder will be out for 8-10 weeks and won’t make the Barça game on 12 November (18:45) at Spotify Camp Nou.
Mariona Caldentey of Arsenal has picked up a hamstring injury and will miss her much-anticipated return against Barcelona. The recovery timeline is set at 8 to 10 weeks, meaning she won’t be available for the 12 November clash at Spotify Camp Nou (18:45).
Arsenal coach Renee Slegers said Mariona “injured herself in the match against Manchester City and didn’t travel with the Spain national team”, adding that it’s “an important injury”.
The tie is loaded with recent Champions history: in the 2025 final in Oslo, Mariona played a role as Arsenal came out on top, while Barça already settled a score the previous season by beating OL Lyonnes 4-0. For this match, Ona Batlle and Misa Rodríguez will be with the Arsenal squad, according to Mundo Deportivo.
