Caroline Weir said she would trade Ballon d'Or nominations and her goals for Scotland for a place at the World Cup after being named again on the 30-player shortlist. The Ballon d'Or ceremony is in London on Monday, while Sweden stand in Scotland's way.
Ballon d'Or shortlist again
Weir has again been named on the 30-player Ballon d'Or shortlist, and she was the first Scottish woman to receive a Ballon d'Or nomination. She said: "Yeah, it's cool, I guess."
She said: "It's always cool to be included in a list where there are so many good players on it - that's a real honour but it's very subjective."
The report says Weir swapped Real Madrid for Lyon, and the report says she signed off as Real Madrid's all-time goalscorer.
World Cup is the main aim
Weir has scored 11 international goals, including three hat-tricks. She said: "It's my biggest objective."
She said: "It's the most important thing for me."
She said: "I want to be at a World Cup, I want Scotland to be at a World Cup."
She said: "I'd swap everything, nominations, goals, for this team to get to a World Cup and that's all I can really think about."
Scotland and injury situation
The report says Weir has been named Scotland captain. Sweden are Scotland's opponents in the way of Scotland's major tournament return.
Weir did not feature in Scotland's second leg against the Czech Republic in their World Cup qualifying round one play-off after pulling up injured in the warm-up, and the report says she has yet to return from that injury.
Before that injury, Weir did not have plans to walk the red carpet at the Palladium because Lyon have a Champions League match at home to Inter Milan on Wednesday.
Recent camp and Emslie
According to the report, Erin Cuthbert and Claire Emslie presented Weir with a commemorative shirt in the recent international camp. The report says Weir and Emslie are two of six current Scotland players who were part of the squad at the 2019 World Cup.
Weir said: "When we're back together, we haven't grown up that much considering we're 31 and 32."
She said: "She's still my best friend, we're having a laugh and then she goes into mum mode, which is the most incredible thing to watch, and I'm just in awe, it's so special."
