Ada Hegerberg fears women's football will lose momentum because of the coronavirus pandemic. MADRID: Ada Hegerberg's voice in football is a powerful one given she claimed the first ever women's Ballon d'Or, owns four Champions League titles with Lyon and has earned her place among the finest female players on the planet, all by the age of 24.

Unable to see her husband in Poland or her family in Norway, Hegerberg is confined to her apartment in the French city of Lyon, where she is recovering from the anterior cruciate ligament injury she suffered in January. With even the world's biggest clubs taking measures to avoid extinction, the fear is staff, players and even teams on the women's side will be deemed expendable.

"If you see how the biggest men's clubs are struggling, you can only imagine how this is going to affect women's teams." "We are in discussions at the moment but for me, as an individual player, I'll do whatever is necessary to help the club," she says.
