Arsenal's injured Caldentey out for up to 10 weeks
Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey is set to miss about two months of Women's Super League action because of a hamstring injury.
Arsenal midfielder Mariona Caldentey is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months due to a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Manchester City on October 4th. The Spanish international, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona in 2022, has been a crucial member of the team and was recognized as the 2024-25 WSL Player of the Year.
Following her injury, Caldentey was substituted and did not recover for Spain's subsequent games. Manager Renee Slegers confirmed that the injury is a significant one, projecting a recovery period of around eight to ten weeks. Her absence will be a setback for Arsenal, who currently sit 10th in the Women's Super League standings after a disappointing start to the season, securing only one victory in their first five matches.
The team will also be without injured forward Chloe Kelly and German summer signing Selina Cerci, who is recuperating from knee surgery.
