Super Falcons Defender Plumptre Ruled Out of Crucial Olympic Qualifier Against South Africa.
Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face South Africa in a crucial Olympic qualifier without Ashleigh Plumptre, who is based in Saudi Arabia.
Plumptre, a key utility player, was initially called up to the team camp by coach Randy Waldrum but has been sidelined due to injury, as confirmed on Monday.
Jumoke Alaninhas, a home-based player, has been called up as a replacement for the left-footed defender.
Plumptre’s absence will be felt, given her significant contributions as one of the standout players for the Super Falcons during the 2023 FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
