Real Madrid Femenino Announce Squad vs. Sevilla

Squad List

GK: Misa, Méline Gérard

DEF: Kenti Robles, Babett Peter, Ivana Andrés, Olga Carmona, Claudia Florentino, Marta Corredera, Lucía Rodríguez, Rocío Gálvez

MID: Claudia Zornoza

FWD: Lorena Navarro, Nahikari García, Caroline Møller Hansen, Athenea del Castillo, Paula Partido

Absences: Kosovare Asllani (ligament injury), Teresa Abelleira (ankle re-injury), Aurélie Kaci (injury), Maite Oroz (injury), Marta Cardona (meniscus injury), Esther González (abductor injury), Malena Ortíz Cruz (recovering from long-term injury)

David Aznar has unsurprisingly made very few changes from the squad that was available vs. Breidablik in the Champions League — youth goalkeeper Sofía is the lone player that has been dropped — given that some of the absentees are only expected to return after the international break at the very earliest.

It’s still a surprise that canterana Dana Benítez has not been included again, if only to come on as a chance sub (knowing that she won’t start over defender Claudia Florentino in midfield).

Las Blancas take on Sevilla away from home tomorrow at 12:00 pm EST (18:00 local time).
