Alexia Putellas will be available for coach Montse Tomé for the Nations League final that Spain will play today at 7:00 p.m. against France at the La Cartuja stadium (Seville). The other novelty on the squad list is the return of Tere Abelleira, from Real Madrid.
The Barça and national team player has not played a match since last November due to injury, but she could reappear against France if Montse Tomé considers it so.
In the press conference prior to the final, Montse Tomé did not clear up the doubts about whether she would have Alexia Putellas, whose first call-up caused discomfort in Barça, as she had not yet been able to play with her club because she was not yet ready after overcoming the injury.
“All 25 players are available to play,” commented the coach without giving any clues as to whether Alexia would be ruled out, as already happened in the semifinal against the Netherlands.
Alexia has not played since last November 15 when he participated, scoring two goals, in Barça’s 5-0 victory over Benfica in a Champions League match.
The Mollet del Vallès footballer has had a nightmare year and a half with injuries. In July 2022 she suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee that did not allow her to play for Barcelona and the national team until the last stretch of the 2022-23 season.
He was discharged on April 26, 2023, but from that day on he did not play practically normally again until the start of this season with Barça. She was out again after suffering from her joint injury and needing to undergo surgery after the match against Benfica on November 14, 2023, and on December 27 she underwent arthroscopy to have her joint sutured. cartilage.
