It has been a long week for Kosovar Asllani, who suffered a ligament injury on September 25.

After the injury, it took a full seven weeks before she did her first training with the ball.

Now - almost a month later - she also makes her first match back with Real Madrid when they face Villarreal.

"A dangerous tackle"

After the injury, she harshly criticized the Spanish league on her social media.

"Unfortunately I will be out until November due to ligament injuries in my knee, which I suffered from a dangerous tackle this weekend.

My view is that we players need to be more protected on the pitch to avoid serious injuries caused by risky tackles.

I am motivated to come back as soon as possible ", she then wrote on Instagram.

The Swedish national team player has missed Sweden's latest matches in the World Cup qualifiers.

Real Madrid is currently in 10th place, 22 points behind Barcelona
