Atlético de Madrid Femenino is preparing for its next round of the F League with two casualties that could affect its lineup. Norwegian forward Synne Jensen and right back Alexia Fernández will not be available for the match against Granada, scheduled for this Saturday, due to injuries that prevent them from competing.
Jensen, a Norwegian international, has suffered a muscle injury in the gluteus medius, while Fernández has injured his right ankle with a sprain of the anterior talofibular ligament. According to the club's medical report, both players will receive physiotherapy sessions and readaptation work in the gym. The evolution of his injuries will determine his return to competition, which suggests that Atlético will have to look for alternatives in forward and defense for the next match.
The team, which occupies third place in the table with 15 points, is six points behind leader Barcelona. In the last matchday, Atlético showed a solid performance, but the absences of Jensen and Fernández could generate tactical and strategic changes. The club has indicated that physiotherapy sessions and rehabilitation will be crucial to ensure both players can return to play as soon as possible.
The match against Granada represents an opportunity for Atlético to maintain its position at the top of the table and close the gap with Barcelona. With two key players missing, the coaching staff will have to adjust their game plan and possibly give more minutes to players who are normally on the bench. Injury management and the physical preparation of injured players will be decisive factors for the team's performance in the upcoming matches.
In the coming days, Atlético de Madrid Femenino will continue to monitor the progress of Jensen and Fernández, while the coaching staff will work on selecting the squad for this Saturday's match. The departure of these two players could influence the team's dynamics, but the club remains confident that the team will continue to compete at the highest level.
