Asisat Oshoala Recovers From Injury Ahead Of AWCON Qualifier

Super Falcons and Barcelona Femeni attacker Asisat Oshoala has been medically cleared to resume full training on Friday afternoon.

The former FC Robo Queens forward last played for the European Champions on November 10, 2021, during her side’s 4-0 thrashing of Hoffenheim in the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage match.

Oshoala hobbled off with a knee injury and was replaced by Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic in the 63rd minute of the match and was sidelined for eight matches in all competitions.

The medical clearance came as a good news as she will now be available for selection ahead of Barcelona first game of the year against Rosa Ariyo’s Granadilla Tenerife.

Randy Waldrum will be also be relieved as the four-time Africa Women’s Player of The Year will be match fit ahead of Super Falcons’ final qualifying match for the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) against Côte d’Ivoire.
