Asisat Oshoala Participation Uncertain for Super Falcons’ Olympic Qualifier Return Leg Against South Africa

There’s a possibility that Asisat Oshoala may miss the Super Falcons’ 2024 Olympic Games qualifier return leg against South Africa’s Banyana Banyana.

In the first leg in Abuja, Asisat Oshoala was named among the substitutes after joining the camp just a day before the match. Head coach Randy Waldrum stated that the forward wasn’t fully prepared for the game and hasn’t confirmed whether she’ll play in the reverse fixture.

“I feel she was not prepared for the game and I am not sure of her for the return game,” Waldrum told reporters.

Meanwhile, the Super Falcons are set to depart for South Africa tonight for the second leg of the final qualifying round fixture. With a 1-0 lead from the first leg, the West Africans are aiming to maintain their advantage.
