Valur lose goalkeeper Maria Beder, who returns to Faroe Islands

Faroese goalkeeper Maria Beder has left Valur and returned home to the Faroe Islands, unlikely to play again this season. She started in both of Valur's opening losses and was expected to share goalkeeping duties with Hafdís Renötudóttir. Valur face ÍBV on Sunday and Haukar next.

What it means

• Maria Beder, 2006-born Faroese goalkeeper, left Valur and flew home to the Faroe Islands on Monday.
• She played two official matches for Valur, both losses (HSÍ Super Cup and Olís-deild opener vs Selfoss).
• Valur have not officially confirmed her departure; she is reportedly in talks with former club H71.
• Valur host ÍBV on Sunday and then visit Haukar — both expected to be strong this season.

Model read

Valur are notably weakened in goal for the upcoming league matches, losing their planned starting goalkeeper pairing partner; the backup or Hafdís Renötudóttir will have to step up against two strong opponents.

All signals for this team: Valur
