Graham Hansen injured – misses Norway matches

Caroline Graham Hansen was nowhere to be seen when Norway trained at Lillestrøm on Wednesday ahead of the European Championship qualifiers against Finland and the Netherlands.

The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) confirms in a press release that she has remained in Barcelona after an injury, and will miss the national team matches.

There is talk of a thigh injury, but the injury should not be serious. National team coach Gemma Grainger says Graham Hansen is probably back for club team Barcelona in the next game.

Cathinka Friis Tandberg has been called in as a replacement.

It is also unclear whether Frida Maanum will be with the national team squad.

– The medical apparatus at Arsenal wants to do some further observations and tests on Thursday. We are in dialogue with both Arsenal and Frida, and follow the situation closely, says Grainger

She collapsed in the weekend’s league cup final against Chelsea and was nowhere to be seen when Norway’s squad gathered in Oslo this week.

– The players’ health will always come first. A decision on whether Frida Maanum can join the national team squad at this meeting will not be made until Friday, says Grainger.
