Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg will not be at the World Cup this summer after she was left out of Norway's squad for the tournament in France.
The Lyon striker is taking a stand over a perceived lack of respect for female players and has not represented her country since 2017.
Chelsea's Maria Thorisdottir, a defender, and Maren Mjelde, a midfielder, are included, as is Wolfsburg forward Caroline Graham Hansen.
