Fenna Kalma unable to start season due to serious injury
PSV Women must continue the season without Fenna Kalma after she was severely injured in a Champions League qualifying match.
Fenna Kalma, a player for PSV Women and eight-time international for the Netherlands national team, was seriously injured in a Champions League qualifying match against SFK 2000. The injury occurred on Thursday and has resulted in her season ending before it truly began.
Kalma shared on Instagram that the injury undermines her preparation for the season. She described it as a nightmare that has become reality and expressed feeling ready for the competition alongside her teammates.
PSV Women has announced that, for privacy reasons, no details will be provided regarding the nature of the injury. As a result, it is unclear how Kalma's recovery will proceed and how long she will be unavailable.
According to reports, Kalma will need several months to recover from the injury, meaning her absence will significantly impact the PSV squad.
The team now faces the challenge of starting the season without one of their key offensive players.
