Falcons captain Ajibade eases injury fears
Captain of the Super Falcons of Nigeria Rasheedat Ajibade has taken to social media to allay fears over the severity of her injury which she suffered during the 2028 Olympics qualifying game against Comoros.
Recall that the PSG striker sustained an ankle injury in the 23rd minute of Nigeria’s 5-0 win over Comoros in the second leg of the Olympic Games qualifiers at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State.
The talented player who was visibly in pain clutching her ankle, as she left the pitch in tears was substituted in the 24th minute of the game, with Folashade Ijamilusi taking her place on the pitch of play.
Super Falcons interim head coach, Austin Eguavoen later confirmed that Ajibade was taken straight to the hospital for an MRI scan to determine the severity of the injury with official medical updates on her recovery pending scan results.

“I’m fine and doing well. I’ll be back stronger, for good and for God’s greater glory,” she wrote on her Instagram page.
Ajibade thanked those who had called and sent messages, adding: “I see all your messages, your love and your kind wishes. Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless you all.”
