UEFA Champions League 2021-22 final Barcelona Women vs Lyon Women: Team News, Injury Update
After nursing an injury, Lieke Martens came in as a substitute in Barcelona’s 2-1 triumph over Atletico Madrid, and the 21-year-old will try to make the final roster for the encounter. However, she is extremely unlikely to be picked for the starting XI. Mariona Caldentey has started the previous five games for Barcelona after returning from a lengthy injury layoff, and she could start again here. Alexia Putellas, the 2021 Ballon d’Or winner, will spearhead Barcelona’s assault. She is the tournament’s leading goal-scorer with 10 goals and will enter this game hoping to add to her total.
Meanwhile, Lyon will be without Dzsenifer Marozsan, who is still recovering from an injury. Damaris Egurrola returned to Lyon’s lineup earlier this month in their 2-0 win over Paris FC and might play here as well. Catarina Macario and Ada Hegerberg are the major goal threats for the French side, as the two have already shared 12 UCL goals this season and will try to maintain their bidding partnership here.
Barcelona Women vs Lyon Women possible starting lineup:
Barcelona Women Predicted Starting XI: Panos; Torrejon, Paredes, Leon, Rolfo; Bonmati, Guijarro, Putellas; Hansen, Caldentey, Hermoso
