Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala will be absent when the Super Falcons take on 2011 World Champions Japan on Thursday morning, Nigerian time.
It’s less than 24 hours to their international friendly against the Asians and the reigning African Women Player of the Year did not join the West Africans before the deadline set by coach Randy Waldrum.
Though no reason has been given for her no-show, but she was spotted training with the Blaugrana on Wednesday afternoon – which confirms her non-participation in the fixture billed for the Noevir Stadium in Kobe.
A post on social media by the Super Falcons claimed that the latch arrivals were Amanda Mbadi, Ngozi, Okobi, Uchenna Kanu and Vivian Ikechukwu.
With Oshoala’s absence, coach Waldrum would be counting on Atletico Madrid’s Rasheedat Ajibade to wreak havoc against the Asians who are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.
For Barcelona, having the Nigerian is a big plus for their preparations for next week’s Uefa Women’s Champions League showdown against Portuguese outfit, SL Benfica inside Estadi Johan Cruyff.
Alongside Oshoala, Nigeria will face Japan without Tosin Demehin, Gift Monday, Rofiat Imuran, and Yewande Balogun due to contrasting reasons.
