Spar Girona confirmed that player Coulibaly, the EuroLeague MVP for December, has suffered a fissure in the cuboid bone of her left foot, sidelining her for the club's immediate upcoming fixtures.

The news is bittersweet for the Girona team. Although tests have ruled out a long-term injury, the player had to leave the court with 3:31 minutes remaining in the last game after an awkward movement affecting her left ankle.
The medical report specifies that the injury involves a fissure in the cuboid bone, along with ligament involvement in the same foot. This condition, while not severe, requires a recovery period that will prevent Coulibaly from participating in Spar Girona's next matches.
The player's absence is a significant blow to the team, as Coulibaly was recently recognized as the MVP for December in the EuroLeague, highlighting her crucial role in the team's strategy.
