Super Falcons interim head coach Justin Madugu has named replacements for Asisat Oshoala and Jennifer Echegini after the duo pulled out of the side’s 2024 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Cape Verde.
Rivers Angels’ Chiamaka Chukwu will take the place of Oshoala, while Falconets forward Chioma Olise will be Echegini’s replacement.
The Super Falcons will also be without regulars Halimat Ayinde, Ifeoma Onumonu, Christy Ucheibe, and Michelle Alozie for the qualifiers.
The Super Falcons will host the first leg of the fixture against their counterparts from Cape Verde at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, on Thursday, November 30.
The second leg is scheduled for the Santiago-Estadio Nacional Blue Shark in Praia on Tuesday, December 5.
The overall winners will earn a place at the 2024 WAFCON, which will be hosted by Morocco.
