Manchester United forward Fridolina Rolfö announces pregnancy and misses season
Summary

Manchester United forward Fridolina Rolfö will be unavailable for the entire 2026/27 season after announcing she is pregnant. The Sweden international, who joined the club from Barcelona in 2025, missed the team’s opening WSL match against London City Lionesses last Friday. Her absence leaves manager Eva Olid without a key attacking option for the remainder of the campaign. The club anticipates she will also require additional time to regain full fitness before returning to first-team action in the 2027/28 season. This development follows a similar situation at the club involving winger Celin Bizet Dønnum, who has remained sidelined since October 2025.
