Dr Piñal, through Real Madrid’s medical services, successfully operated on Real Madrid and Swedish national team forward, Kosovare Asllani, last Saturday at the Vithas La Milagrosa hospital. The Olympic runner-up in Rio 2016 and bronze in the 2019 World Cup in France suffered an injury to her left thumb linked to a previous surgery.

Asllani, who wore the shirts of Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City, among other squads, before joining Real Madrid, has an outstanding international career, with more than 130 caps for the Swedish national team.

As attack reference for Real Madrid Women, she scored the first official goal in the history of the new Real Madrid branch, last October 11 against Valencia
