Barcelona Femeni has struggled with an injury crisis for some of its key players this season. And even though the crisis has not really stopped them from winning, it has had a few negative and positive impacts on the team and its performances.
However, Barca can finally take a sigh of relief as key duo Fridolina Rolfo and Alexia Putellas are set to return to action after a long spell on the sidelines. The duo were both listed in the matchday squad for the Copa de la Reina semifinal clash against Athletic Club.

While Fridolina Rolfo was announced to have received the green light from the club’s medical staff, there was no news of an injury return for the club’s captain, Alexia Putellas. However, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner is set to take the trip to the Basque region for the semifinal match.

But just like Alexia, there was another key player whose return to fitness was also not announced. Goalkeeper Sandra Panos has also been listed to take the trip to Bilbao alongside Rolfo and Alexia.
Barcelona Femeni will lock horns with Athletic Club in the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina on March 7, 2024.
