24 hours before the classic Alexia Putellas did not train with the group either. The Blaugrana footballer was not seen in the last FC Barcelona training session in Montjuïc, like Irene Paredes, with tonsillitis. The captain had to withdraw from Tuesday's Champions League match against Benfica after suffering discomfort in her left knee, the same one on which she had surgery last year.
All the alarms went off in the club, but tests confirmed that there was no injury. The one from Mollet del Vallès continues to feel discomfort and that is why, as a precaution, she has worked outside the group all week. His presence in the squad tomorrow is not ruled out, although without having trained with the team these days, everything indicates that he will not be in the starting eleven to face Real Madrid (12pm, DAZN).
Jonatan Giráldez's team trained this morning for the first time on the stage that will host the classic, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. All those available have done so except Alexia, Irene Paredes, who has been out since Tuesday due to tonsillitis, as well as the injured Fridolina Rolfö, Bruna Vilamala and Jana Fernàndez.
A large turnout is expected to witness the first match of the women's team in the new Blaugrana fiefdom, which has practically sold out all the seats available for the match. The club has prepared several activities for the fans on a day as important as the duel against Real Madrid. To date they have met eleven times in all competitions and always with a Blaugrana victory as a result.
