Ada Hegerberg, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, will sit out as Norway tries to stay alive in the FIFA Women's World Cup against upset-hungry Philippines.
Norway striker Ada Hegerberg will not play in their must-win FIFA Women’s World Cup group game against the Philippines on Sunday, July 30, after failing to recover from a groin injury in time, coach Hege Riise said on Saturday.
Norway is at bottom of Group A with 1 point and must win to have any chance of qualifying for the last 16, but its fate is not entirely in their hands with the top two sides Switzerland and New Zealand playing each other. Hegerberg said in a statement there was “too little time” to make the lineup for the game against the Philippines.
