Friday, July 17, 2009

Attacking midfielder Cathrine Dekkerhus has been drafted into the Norway squad after captain June Tårnes's tournament was ended after she suffered a broken leg in the goalless draw with England.

Tromsø assistance
Tårnes was carried from the pitch in Molodechno after a challenge from Jade Moore and, after being taken to hospital, flew home on Thursday evening with the Tromsø IL squad following their UEFA Europa League draw with FC Dinamo Minsk. A veteran at this level, the 19-year-old Tårnes will be sorely missed by Jarl Torske and his team, though Dekkerhus will arrive ahead of Sunday's decisive Group B meeting with Sweden. The 16-year-old Dekkerhus struck Norway's only goal at the UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship last month.
