Real Madrid's Frohms out four months with ligament injury
A setback for Los Blancos — their first-choice goalkeeper is sidelined for several months after suffering an injury during the Champions League
- Frohms, the German goalkeeper for Real Madrid, sustained a knee ligament injury in the first half of their UEFA Women’s Champions League match versus Paris Saint‑Germain.
- Medical scans confirmed a complete tear of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in her right knee.
- The estimated recovery time is approximately four months, meaning she will miss a significant portion of the 2025/26 season.
- Frohms had displaced long-term No. 1 Misa Rodríguez earlier in the season, making her absence a considerable blow for Real Madrid’s goalkeeping setup.
- The injury occurred when Frohms was substituted in the 16th minute after the incident, and the club is now expected to rely on backup options as they navigate both domestic and continental commitments.
