Spanish forward Inma Gabarro sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injury against Liverpool last Saturday and will now undergo rehabilitation under the care of Everton’s medical team.
The 23-year-old will be in good hands, however, as the medical team have become very experienced with ACL injuries, which have cursed a number of teammates in recent seasons, including Megan Finnigan and Aurora Galli. A different story for Hobson, though, and while the lifelong Blue won’t be appearing for the Toffees this season, the 18-year-old will be hoping for more time on the pitch after joining BK Rosenborg on loan until the end of June. The versatile star signed her first professional contract with Everton in November 2025 after becoming the youngest ever goalscorer in the WSL when she netted a stoppage time equaliser for the Blues against Arsenal at Walton Hall Park at just 16 years.
Hobson claimed her maiden WSL start of the season against Manchester United last month, but found herself out of the squad for last week’s Merseyside derby a week later. A promising talent that is just as comfortable in both defence and midfielder, the teen joins the Toppserien side in the early stages of their season, which concludes in November.
