Monica Jusu Bah is fit to play again after an injury sustained with the national team, according to multiple reports. The BK Häcken midfielder had to leave the match against Serbia with groin pain but has since recovered. According to Sportbladet, Jusu Bah described feeling good after a little rest, though she admitted she was initially worried after the national team match. She sustained the injury during a national team camp and had to be substituted early in the game against Serbia, but the issue turned out to be minor.

Häcken currently leads 3-0 after the first semifinal leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Women's Europa Cup. The team is also in the final of the Swedish Cup and won the Damallsvenskan premiere, putting them in contention for a treble in 2026. According to Fotbollskanalen, Jusu Bah described the team's defensive effort as key to the result and warned against complacency despite the comfortable lead. She emphasized that the team must stay focused and not underestimate Frankfurt in the return leg.

Jusu Bah extended her contract with Häcken and is satisfied with her new salary, according to Fotbollskanalen. She has taken on a clearer leadership role in the team, as she explained to Fotbollskanalen that she extended her contract because she wants to take greater responsibility and be more leading, being one of the longest-serving players. She also praised coach Elena Sadiku for clear instructions that help her on the pitch. Jusu Bah noted that the new contract reflects her value to the team and her commitment to the club's project.

Jusu Bah scored her first national team goal against Denmark, according to multiple reports. She chose to stay at Häcken despite foreign interest, telling Fotbollskanalen that while abroad is tempting, Häcken and the environment there are right for her now. She expressed hope that Häcken will win a treble in 2026, adding that the team has the quality and depth to achieve that goal.
