Van Asten Leads Five Returns for Rome Trip

Barcelona coach Pere Romeu can now count on five returning players, led by Van Asten, for the upcoming trip to Rome.

Barcelona coach Pere Romeu will have a stronger squad for the Rome trip as five players return from injury and absences. The returning players include Van Asten, who has recovered from her injury, along with Carla Julià, Aïcha, Noa Jiménez, and Rosalía.

These additions, combined with the recent return of Aitana, give Romeu more options for team selection and rotations. The coach had previously been making "malabares" (juggling) to manage lineups in recent weeks due to player absences. afrikasportnews.co.za
