According to official reports, Nigeria’s centre-back Ashleigh Plumptre will not be able to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games qualifier against South Africa due to an injury. This news comes as a blow to the team as Plumptre is an experienced player.
Jumoke Alani has been named as a replacement for Plumptre. Randy Waldrum, the head coach of the Nigerian team, will have to make changes to the team’s defence, as Oluwatosin Demehin and Rofiat Imuran are already out of the game with injuries.
