The absence of Mayra Ramírez in the squad has generated uncertainty about the performance of the Colombian team in the competition. However, coach Marsiglia trusts the selected players and hopes to obtain good results in the Women’s Gold Cup.
Colombia, which shares a group with Brazil, Panama and the winner of the playoff between Haiti and Puerto Rico, hopes to advance without problems to the next round. His debut is scheduled for Wednesday, February 21 against Panama at 7:30 p.m. They will then face Brazil on February 24 at 10:15 p.m. and will close the group stage against the winner of the playoff on February 27 at 7:00 p.m.
Leicy Santos and Catalina Pérez will not be able to perform with the women’s national team in the Gold Cup
In the next edition of the Women’s Gold Cup, soccer players Mayra Ramírez and Leicy Santos will not be able to participate due to different circumstances.
Leicy Santos, Colombian midfielder, will not be present in the tournament due to a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of her right leg. This injury, from which he has not been able to recover for several weeks, prevents him from playing any minute of play in the championship. The Spanish club to which he belongs reported on Leicy’s injury and his condition is still pending.
It should be noted that the starting goalkeeper, Catalina Pérez, will also not be able to play due to an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in her right leg, suffered during training with Werder Bremen of Germany. Furthermore, Yoreli Rincón has not yet been called up by the Colombian National Team.
Chelsea prefers to have the forward in optimal conditions
The coach of the Colombian women’s national team, Ángelo Marsiglia, announced this Friday the list of the 23 players called up for the Women’s Gold Cup to be held in the United States. However, the list left many surprised by the absence of Mayra Ramírez, one of the most expensive signings in world women’s football, and Chelsea’s brand new reinforcement.
The unexpected decision generated noise both in the press and among football fans. However, the reason behind Ramírez’s non-call is due to the English club’s refusal to lend her to the Colombian national team. Chelsea prefers to have the striker in optimal condition, since she will be taken into account for the important quarterfinal matches of the Women’s Champions League against Ajax.
As coach Emma Hayes explained, she considers the player an important piece and did not lend her to participate in this international tournament. Furthermore, the club is aware that Ramírez is still in the process of adapting to English football, so they consider it essential that she focus on her upcoming commitments with the team for her full performance.
Before the international matches, Chelsea will have to play the FA Cup against Crystal Palace, followed by league games against Manchester City, Leicester and Arsenal. The Women’s Gold Cup will have its group stage from February 20 to 28. The quarterfinals will take place on March 2 and 3. The semifinals will be played on March 6 and the grand final will be played on the 10th of that same month.
