Ajibade Breaks Silence On Injury After Comoros Clash
Retold by Oddsrama · 15 October 2026
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has moved to ease worries about her fitness after going down during Nigeria's home Olympic qualifier against Comoros. The PSG forward was withdrawn in the 23rd minute following a collision, forcing Folashade Ijamilusi to step up in her absence. While early reports suggested surgery might be on the cards, Ajibade has confirmed that medical assessments are still ongoing and no final diagnosis has been delivered yet.
In a message to supporters, the 26-year-old struck an optimistic tone, insisting her spirits remain high and her recovery focus is absolute. She took time to praise her teammates for their discipline and unity during the international window, while thanking the technical staff, medical team, and fans for their backing. Ajibade stressed that fresh updates will follow once doctors complete their full evaluation—a sensible approach given the stakes involved.
For bettors watching Nigeria's Olympic campaign, Ajibade's involvement (or absence) carries real weight. Her pace, leadership, and goal threat at PSG level make her central to the Super Falcons' attacking plans. If she's sidelined for weeks rather than days, the odds on Nigeria to progress through the qualifiers could shift noticeably, and the attacking efficiency in their remaining fixtures bears close monitoring. The next update will be crucial for form assessment and fixture-by-fixture betting angles.
