Arsenal midfielder Caldentey ruled out for up to 10 weeks
Arsenal have confirmed that midfielder Mariona Caldentey will miss roughly two months of Women’s Super League action after suffering a hamstring injury. The 23‑year‑old will return to training in early July, but her absence will be felt as the Gunners push for a top‑four finish.
Arsenal announced that midfielder Mariona Caldentey has suffered a hamstring injury that will sideline her for up to ten weeks, effectively ruling her out of the next two months of Women’s Super League matches.
The 23‑year‑old, who has been a regular in the squad, is expected to resume training in early July after a period of rest and physiotherapy. The injury timeline was confirmed by the club’s medical staff during a routine update on the team’s social media channels.
Caldentey has been a key part of Arsenal’s midfield, providing creativity and work‑rate in both attack and defense. Her absence will leave a gap in the team’s central areas, where she often links play between the back line and the forwards.
With the Gunners looking to secure a top‑four finish, the loss of a player of Caldentey’s experience will force the coaching staff to adjust their midfield options for the upcoming fixtures. The club will likely rely on other squad members to step up in her stead.
Arsenal have outlined a rehabilitation plan for Caldentey, with a focus on gradual return to full training. The club will keep fans updated on her progress as the season progresses toward its climax.
