Linda Caicedo was on the bench again in the Women’s League match with Real Madrid, why?

In Real Madrid’s recent 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the final round of the Women’s Champions League, Linda Caicedo did not start, a decision that surprised fans.

Although the Colombian striker was expected to play a key role after her impressive performance in the World Cup, she has been relegated to the bench in the recent merengue matches.

One of the possible reasons behind this decision could be related to the need to dose your minute load. Caicedo has had a busy calendar between his involvement in the World Cup and his return to the club.

In addition, in the previous F League match (the first women’s division in Spain), where she was also not a starter, in the victory over Athletic Bilbao (2-0), some of the media that the coaching staff could be protecting her to avoid the danger. . of injuries.

Despite not playing in the match, Linda watched from the bench as her team overcame Portugal’s first goal, qualifying for the group stage with an aggregate score of 5- 2. Caicedo hopes that he will have more exposure in the next rounds of the competition.

It was up to players like Sandie Toletti and Alba Redondo to make the second leg. This depth in the squad could allow coach Alberto Toril to make rounds, as in Linda’s case, to avoid premature wear and tear and get all his players physically fit.

Although the Colombian did not play a single minute in this match, it is likely that her participation will be more active in the upcoming matches. His talent remains fundamental to Real Madrid’s F League and Champions League aspirations.
