Lyon star Ada Hegerberg sustains a broken foot during the 2024 Champions League showdown
Ada Hegerberg’s Champions League final ended in pain as the Norwegian forward suffered a foot fracture, her agent says. Recovery details and next steps are outlined.
When the whistle blew at the Allianz Arena on May 23, the drama of the Women’s Champions League final wasn’t over yet for Lyon’s marquee striker Ada Hegerberg. Moments after the final whistle, the Norwegian forward went down in the tunnel, clutching her right foot. Within hours, her representative, Egil Mikkelsen, confirmed what fans feared most – Hegerberg had suffered a fracture.
“She felt an immediate, sharp pain,” Mikkelsen told reporters on Tuesday. “The medical team ran a quick assessment and, based on the swelling and the way she fell, we suspect a break in the metatarsal. Scans are scheduled for later this week to pinpoint the exact injury.” The news has sent a ripple through Lyon’s camp, already reeling from a 3‑2 defeat to Barcelona.
For Hegerberg, the timing could not be worse. The 30‑year‑old, who has been a pivotal figure in Lyon’s dominance over the past decade, was hoping to cap off the season with a trophy. Instead, she now faces weeks, if not months, of rehabilitation. “It’s heartbreaking, but I’m determined to come back stronger,” Hegerberg said in a brief video message, her voice wavering but resolute.
Club officials have already outlined a recovery plan that includes immobilisation, physiotherapy and a gradual return to training. Coach Sonia Bompastor emphasized that the team will rally around their captain, and that the focus will shift to the upcoming French league matches once Hegerberg is cleared. Meanwhile, fans worldwide have flooded social media with support, sharing the hashtag #GetWellAda.
