Ona Batlle misses the Barça‑Arsenal duel four days before the match

Ona Batlle has been ruled out for ARSENAL WOMEN for the match against Liverpool.

Only four days remain until the much‑anticipated Champions League clash between Barça and Arsenal, which will be played at the Spotify Camp Nou this Thursday.

Two of the contenders will face each other, although the London side has yet to deliver a season to remember.

"Ballon d'Or? I don't know why, but I thought Patri would win it," commented Yaca Garcia‑Planas.

An own goal by Lucy Bronze put Manchester City at the top of the table, according to Yaca Garcia‑Planas.

Uncertainty over Batlle's availability

For the Barça‑Arsenal encounter, Batlle's possible absence becomes significant.

The Catalan full‑back is experiencing discomfort and Arsenal's Dutch coach, Renée Slegers, still does not know whether she will be able to count on her.

In fact, the former Barça player has not been called up for Sunday's match against Liverpool.

The extent of the injury is expected to be known, although it is believed to be minor and she could play in Barcelona.

"I hope she arrives," Slegers told Eleven TV.
