Levante Femenino

There are a few substantial injury concerns for the visiting side ahead of this game. Eva Navarro, Viola Calligaris and Lucía Gómez are out with knee injuries. Jucinara, Gio Queiroz and Natasa Andonova are ruled out with thigh injuries.

Levante have missed out on Champions League qualification for the last 12 seasons. They need to overcome a one-goal deficit here, which might be difficult given injuries to key players.
