Will Norway’s Ada Hegerberg be fit against Philippines in final group match of FIFA Women’s World Cup?

The Hindu  

Ada Hegerberg’s mysterious late withdrawal from the Norway team that drew 0-0 with Switzerland at the World Cup on Tuesday was solely down to a groin injury, Hegerberg’s representatives told Reuters after a number of rumours circulated online. “She felt a tightness during the regular warm-up, which she felt was going to be alright going into the game,” Victor Bernard of Hegerberg’s representatives AV Sports told Reuters in an email exchange. She felt playing would potentially take her out of the World Cup while there is still at least a game to play,” Bernard said. “She genuinely did not know how to proceed, and to prevent the team from losing a substitution, she headed to the locker room, where she received treatment quickly after.” Bottom of Group A with one point from its opening two games, Norway hopes that Hegerberg will be fit for its final group game against the Philippines on Sunday, while leader Switzerland takes on second-placed New Zealand.
