Speaking at the Thinking Football Summit, World Cup winner Ariane Hingst doesn't think Alexia Putellas warrants the award because she has hardly played.

00:00What frustrates me the most is, and don't get me wrong, the likes of Alexia Puteas.
00:06Great, great player, but she's been injured for such a long time and it's time to come back.
00:11But she's also on the list to be the best of this season.
00:15This can't be right and I don't think that it does justice to the really great football players we have out there
00:22if Puteas is on this list named as well.
00:25We need to get away from the superstars and just recognise the season that has been played.
00:31If Lena Oberdorf wouldn't have missed the Olympics, I think she would have been top of the list
00:36and she is still for me, even though she missed the Olympics,
00:39because the season she played and the way she developed, it's just tremendously.
00:45And being biased, I have to say a German name, but she's not even on the list.
