Alert, Benfica and Internacional star for Portugal faces season at risk | OneFootball

More news for Ivan Baptista, who is preparing for the official debut of Benfica's women's team, which will start the new season with the dispute of the Super Cup, against Torreense. The new coach of the red and whites will not be able to count on Andreia Norton, who is dealing with a serious injury.

After finishing her participation in the European Championship, where Portugal did not advance beyond the group stage, the player, one of the most important pieces in the conquest of the national pentachampionship, returned to training in Seixal, but ended up suffering a knee injury.

According to the medical bulletin shared by Benfica through its official platforms, the Portuguese international suffered a cartilage injury to her right knee, which, at the same time, causes problems with the cruciate ligament.

To address this physical problem, the Clube da Luz player will have to undergo surgery to resolve the issue, however, the bad news doesn't stop there. Without giving a specific forecast, Benfica announced that the player may not return to play soon, with the 2025/26 season at risk, just like Ana Borges.

Back in Seixal, the striker set new goals for the new season.
