Barcelona superstar Oshoala gives Super Falcons HUGE injury boost ahead FIFAWWC

The Super Falcons have received a major boost ahead of the 2023 FIFA World Cup from superstar forward Asisat Oshoala.

Pulse Sports Nigeria can report that Oshoala has confirmed she will be ready to represent the country at the FIFA World Cup later this month.

The Barcelona forward has been out of action since May following a hamstring problem she picked up in Spain.

Oshoala made the comment which is a huge boost for the Super Falcons and Nigerians during the team’s send-forth by the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in Abuja.

As reported by Pulse Sports in early June, the 28-year-old was a huge miss for her Spanish side Barcelona as they prepared for the Women's Champions League final against Wolfsburg last month.

Oshoala suffered a discomfort in her hamstring and has not played since then, with Barcelona going on to see off Wolfsburg to lift the title.

The injury to her left thigh has fueled concerns that she will not be ready to lead the Super Falcons to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia.

However, the African Footballer of the Year has come out to give a positive update after promising she would be ready for the global showpiece.

“As far as I know, I will be ready before the World Cup kicks off,” Oshoala stated in a video posted on Instagram by Nigerian journalist, Calister Enejele.

Oshoala is a five-time African Footballer of the Year winner and Nigeria’s best player heading into the World Cup.

Despite her injury, she headlines the 23-woman squad released by Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum.
