The 21-year-old Spain international, who joined Everton in the close-season, joins a long list of WSL players to face a spell on the sidelines due to an ACL injury.

Last week, Gabarro's teammate Aurora Galli picked up the same injury. Chelsea trio Sam Kerr, Sophie Ingle, Mia Fishel, and Manchester City midfielder Jill Roord are among those who have been sidelined with a similar injury.

"A scan this week confirmed Gabarro's injury and the 21-year-old will now undergo rehabilitation under the care of Everton's medical team," the club said on X.
