| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to full time with Meg Linnehan. |
| 0:18.6 | I am Meg and as always you are listening to a show |
| 0:21.7 | all about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network. Have a big, big, big, big episode for you today |
| 0:28.4 | with Ada Hegerberg joining the show. Her return to the Norway team is obviously huge news, |
| 0:33.5 | but she also wanted to dig into a specific topic, and it was one that I was always going to want to talk about. |
| 0:39.4 | Thrilled to have her join the show, especially head of Champions League action on Wednesday and Thursday, |
| 0:43.5 | but more on that in a second. |
| 0:46.0 | Before we get to the rest of today's episode, as always, to show your support of full-time, |

| 1:20.6 | honestly awful to watch, but also to listen to because of the field mics. She did share that |
| 1:25.7 | she expects to be out for a while, but the team has |
| 1:28.5 | not sent out a formal update with more information on the medical part of it yet. Then the Chicago |
| 1:34.7 | Red Stars announced that centerbacked Tierra Davidson would miss the entire season after tearing her |
| 1:39.1 | ACL at training. And then on Tuesday, the Kansas City current announced that Lynn Williams was also out for the |
| 1:45.8 | entire season after severing what they called an acute leg injury in the very first match of the |
| 1:51.3 | Challenge Cup. So just awful news across the board. And just I really hope we do not see any more |
