Breaking news! Academy star out for Benfica in the coming weeks | OneFootball

Carolina Tristão will be a major absentee for the women’s football team. According to what was announced by Benfica through its official channels, the midfielder will be unavailable to Ivan Baptista for the coming weeks, as she is injured.

"Sport Lisboa e Benfica informs that Carolina Tristão suffered a quadriceps muscle injury this Saturday, in the B team’s match," reads the medical update issued by the club in recent hours, detailing the player’s physical issues.

"The young midfielder has already begun the rehabilitation process and is expected to be sidelined from competition for a period of no less than three weeks," Benfica stated, while also revealing Carolina Tristão’s expected spell on the sidelines, which will leave her out of the Eagles’ options.

As such, the player will be ruled out of Benfica women’s team’s next match, which will take place this weekend, in another Liga BPI round. The midfielder had been a regular choice under the watchful eye of Ivan Baptista, who appreciates her playing qualities.

It is worth remembering that Carolina Tristão is not the only young academy player forced to stop because of injury. In recent weeks, Benfica had already announced that Diana Costa would also be out until the end of the season after suffering a foot problem.
