Al Ittihad defender Ashleigh Plumptre has expressed her delight at returning to the Super Falcons squad for their upcoming international friendly against France. After representing Nigeria at the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Plumptre had been absent from the team due to an injury.
The defender missed the Paris Olympic Games qualifiers after sustaining an injury during a league game. However, head coach Justin Madugu has recalled her to the squad, and Plumptre is eager to make an impact. “Feels great to have made the Super Falcons list for the upcoming international games. Good opportunity to fight for the badge again,” she shared on social media.
Plumptre is expected to feature prominently in the friendly, which will be held in Angers, France. Her return adds depth to the Super Falcons’ defense as they prepare for the high-profile encounter. Fans will be keen to see her contributions as the team continues its preparations for future tournaments.
