The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continued Tuesday with a powerhouse matchup between Group A’s Switzerland and Norway at FMG Stadium Waikato in New Zealand.
Right before the start of the match, Norway attacker and reigning Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg was spotted heading back to the team’s dressing room.
The team doctors confirmed Hegerberg hurt her groin during warm-ups, making her unavailable for the game.
Without Hegerberg in action, Norway wasn’t able to get much going on the offensive end, but they were able to hold Switzerland scoreless as well, as the match ended in a draw.
