STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Norway international Julie Blakstad is hoping to cap her loan spell at Swedish side BK Hacken from Manchester City with a cup-winners medal on Tuesday before hopefully playing a key role for her country at the upcoming Women's World Cup.

Confined to the bench for most of the season at City, the 21-year-old midfielder jumped at the chance of a spell in Sweden and the move has paid off handsomely, with the Swedish Cup final against Hammarby on June 6 - Sweden's national day - to come.
