Everton Women’s update – Gabarro out, Hobson loaned out

Everton Women stars Inma Gabarro and Issy Hobson will no longer play any part in the season due to injury and loan, respectively.

Spanish striker Inma Gabarro suffered 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 has 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, however, and although the lifelong Blue won’t appear for the Toffees this season, the 18-year-old is hoping to spend 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 goalscorer in WSL history when she scored a stoppage-time equalizer for the Blues against Arsenal at Walton Hall Park aged just 16.

Hobson earned her first 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, just as comfortable in defense as in midfield, the teenager joined the Toppserien team at the start of its season, which ends in November.
