Hegerberg, 28, left fans stunned and teammates alarmed as she walked off the pitch moments after belting out her country’s song.

The Lyon star and former Ballon d’Or winner was set to be the star of the show in Tuesday’s group stage clash between Norway and Switzerland.

Hegerberg, also a six-time Champions League victor, trained with teammates in the build-up.

And she then lined up for the national anthem, joining in the raucous noise before kick-off.

But as soon as the final preparations were done, Hegerberg beat a hasty retreat off the pitch and down the tunnel.

Even teammates looked bemused as their leading light exited the field without a ball being kicked.
