REIMS, France (Reuters) - Norway playmaker Caroline Graham Hansen said on Monday she was confident of being fit for their last 16 match on Saturday after sustaining an ankle injury in a 2-1 win over South Korea.

Hansen appeared in discomfort after a late challenge by Kang Chaerim when she won a penalty in the 49th minute of the Group A match but had to come off shortly after.

"I don't know yet, but I couldn't continue," she told reporters."The doctors are positive and think it will be ok, but I will wait for the answer." The Barcelona-bound forward had started the match by slotting home a fourth minute penalty, but looked frustrated on the wing as a feisty Korea dominated in the first half.

"It's extremely important to get her back, but she's a tough woman and we have good medical staff," Norway coach Martin Sjogren told reporters."We'll see how the injury is tomorrow, but I believe she will be back.""I've been impressed by Italy and Brazil, but whoever we meet it will be a challenge," Sjogren said.
