Kika Nazareth's Season Hit by Hamstring Injury

Kika Nazareth, a key player for Barcelona's women's first team, will be out of action for approximately four weeks following a hamstring injury. The club confirmed the diagnosis on Monday after the player underwent examinations upon returning from an training camp. The injury affects the back of her left thigh, sidelining her from recent team sessions.

This represents a significant setback for Nazareth, who has struggled with recurring physical problems throughout her first two seasons at Barcelona. A serious injury previously impacted the closing stages of the 2024-25 season, and minor knocks last term limited her playing time.

Nazareth begins a new recovery process, aiming to reintegrate into the team's rhythm. Barcelona is preparing for an upcoming campaign where they intend to defend their titles. The Portuguese international hopes this injury is the last in a series that has disrupted her promising career.
