Serrajordi's return bolsters Barça as Romeu eyes final signing before Alavés clash

At the Estadio Municipal in Vitoria, the Barça women gather for a Friday evening showdown against Deportivo Alavés at 20.00, the fourth round of the Liga F Moeve. The headline return of 18‑year‑old Clara Serrajordi, cleared after a right‑arm fracture, adds fresh optimism to the travelling squad.

Injuries and squad depth

Serrajordi received medical clearance and is set to make her first appearance of the season. Goalkeeper Cata Coll was omitted from the match‑day list, joining the injured ranks of Aitana, Paredes, Laia Aleixandri and Van Asten. International prospects Aïcha Camara and Carla Julià, both with Spain U‑20, are also unavailable.

Coach Pere Romeu therefore relied on the young trio of Martina González, Daniela Martínez, Carolina Ferrera, Lúa Arufe and Mayssa to complete the roster. Con the limited options, the squad remains thin, a situation the coach hopes to remedy before the transfer window closes on Friday.

Romeu seeks last‑minute signing

Romeu admitted he is still hunting for a final addition, preferably a left‑back, and that the sporting director is actively involved. "In football you never know and things always happen, some planned and some unexpected," he told reporters, citing journalist Jordi Batalla of FCB.

If no external player arrives, Romeu said he will promote a talent from the B team to the first‑team permanently. The coach stressed that the club and the sporting department are aligned to secure the deal before the market shuts.

Barça enter the match on the back of three wins, scoring 13 goals while conceding only two. Alavés, newly promoted, have opened with victories over Granada (1‑0) and Valencia (2‑0) and a narrow 1‑0 loss to Atlético. Both sides will be eager to extend their early‑season momentum.
