Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has begun her recovery following successful surgery for a fractured fibula sustained during Nigeria’s 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign.

The forward suffered the injury during Nigeria’s second-leg encounter against Comoros in the second round of the qualifiers.

Ajibade was forced off in the 28th minute of the match played at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne, with Folashade Ijamilusi introduced as her replacement.

The Paris Saint-Germain star underwent surgery last week and has since commenced rehabilitation.

Although PSG have yet to provide a timeline for her return to action, the commencement of her recovery marks a positive step towards regaining full fitness.

Ajibade is expected to focus on her rehabilitation programme as she works towards returning to competitive football.
