Caroline Graham Hansen, one of the best players in the world, was dropped by Norway following a disappointing 1-0 loss to New Zealand in the Women’s World Cup.
Fresh from winning the UEFA Champions League with FC Barcelona, Graham Hansen took a break from the national team, citing health issues.
She returned to the Norwegian team in time for the World Cup, but things didn’t go as planned. Norway lost their opening match 1-0 to New Zealand.
The manager decided to remove her, alongside another Barcelona teammate, Ingrid Syrstad Engen, from the lineup for the second match.
