After their remarkable victory against Australia in the 2023 Women’s World Cup Group B football match, the Super Falcons’ media officer, Oluchi Tobechukwu, has reassured fans that key players with recent injuries will likely be available for Monday’s crucial group stage game against Republic of Ireland.
During the clash with Australia, midfielder Halimat Ayinde, right-back Michelle Alozie, and defender Osinachi Ohale sustained knocks and injuries, raising concerns about their availability for the upcoming match. However, Tobechukwu confirmed that the players are in good shape and are expected to recover in time for the important game.
“We had a lot of knocks during the match, and even before that, Desire Oparanozie was on the bench recovering from knocks, almost fully fit,” Tobechukwu explained. “I saw Ohale last night before going to bed, and she was walking fine, so they should be good before our next game.”
The Super Falcons will face Republic of Ireland at Lang Park, Brisbane, and need just one point from the match to secure a spot in the Round of 16. Despite the injuries, the team remains determined and optimistic about their chances in the upcoming fixture.
