Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has begun her recovery following successful surgery for a fractured fibula, marking a positive step towards regaining full fitness.

Rasheedat Ajibade has begun recovery after successful surgery for a fractured fibula sustained during Nigeria’s 2028 Olympic qualifiers

The forward sustained the injury during Nigeria’s second-leg encounter against Comoros in the second round of the 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers.

Ajibade was forced off in the 28th minute of the match 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 the recovery process.

Although PSG have yet to announce a timeline for her return to competitive action, the start of her rehabilitation offers an encouraging development following the injury.

The Nigerian international is expected to concentrate on her recovery programme as she works towards regaining full fitness.

Ajibade’s return date remains uncertain, with further progress likely to depend on her rehabilitation and recovery from the fractured fibula.
