Mariona Caldentey replaced in Spain squad after hamstring injury that ‘doesn’t look good’

Mariona Caldentey has been replaced in Spain's national football team following a hamstring injury sustained during Arsenal Women's 4-2 loss to Manchester City. The initial assessment from coach Renée Slegers indicated the injury did not appear promising. Caldentey was substituted shortly before halftime and was replaced by Caitlin Foord.

Slegers mentioned that a full assessment was pending, making it difficult to predict the duration of Caldentey's absence. Spain's national football team, set to begin training camp on Monday, will not have Caldentey available. Natalia Ramos, a midfielder for Liverpool FCW, has been called up for her first senior Spain appearance.

Ramos, who joined Liverpool this summer, made 249 appearances and scored 23 goals for the Spanish club. The Spanish federation announced Caldentey's withdrawal from upcoming friendlies against the United States, scheduled for October 7-13.
