Norway are dropping into a 4-5-1 when they are without the ball. It's a pretty good block but it's about what they do when they get the ball back.

They need to more effective.

Maren Mjelde then wins a third corner of the match for Norway. There's a scramble in the box from the delivery and Mjelde is first to the loose ball but lashes over.

Seraina Piubel plays an excellent ball to Ramona Bachmann, who tries to run through the middle of the defence but Maren Mjelde reads it well.

Norway are finally finding their feet in this game with a few bursts forward.

They've only got one or two players in the box when the ball is delivered, though, and they need to commit more to those attacks.

Tuva Hansen does really well to get to a ball down the left flank but her cutback is cleared.

Emilie Haavi then smashes a powerful volley towards goal, but the whistle goes for an earlier offside.

A good little spell for Norway.

Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic tries to release Seraina Piubel inside the Norway box but Tuva Hansen reads the danger well.

Sophie Roman Haug, the late replacement for Ada Hegerberg, has Norway's first effort of note with a tame header way off target.

It is sounding now like Hegerberg picked up an injury in the warm up rather than being unwell.

Despite being under all the pressure, Norway do manage to win a second corner and Vilde Boe Risa's in-swinger looks dangerous but Switzerland are able to clear.

Finally the pressure is relieved on the Norway defence as Coumba Sow fouls Amalie Eikeland.

Norway are fighting to stay in the World Cup. Losing Ada Hegerberg before kick-off is a crushing blow and they've spent the first 10 minutes pretty much camped inside their own half.

Switzerland are well on top now and there's another good passage of play down the right to release Ramona Bachmann, but her cross is blocked.

Switzerland worked that so well.

It was desperate defending from Norway.

You would expect Bachmann to get plenty on that shot but it's a great block from Mjelde.

Danger for Norway!

Coumba Sow has been lively so far and her ball into the box is just behind Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic but goes through to Ramona Bachmann, whose shot is blocked.

Switzerland are growing into this now and passing the ball around well. They work the ball down the left but the ball into the box is cleared.

Losing Ada Hegerberg is such a blow because she is a leader.

The rest of the players need to make sure they are just focused on the task in hand because this is such an important game to win.

Despite the early blow of losing their key player in attack, Norway have started well and are dominating the possession.

It sounds like Ada Hegerberg is unwell, which is why she was unable to play.

The corner comes to nothing.

That pitch is very wet as Gaelle Thalmann is forced to concede an early corner.

Sophie Haug replaces Ada Hegerberg as Norway lose their star striker moments before kick off. What a blow!

A huge game in Group A is under way.
