Ashleigh Plumptre is brimming with excitement following her inclusion in the Super Falcons’ squad for an upcoming international friendly match against the French national team, Les Bleues.
Ashleigh Plumptre has faced significant challenges in her career, particularly after suffering a serious ACL injury earlier this year that kept her sidelined for an extended period.
The injury was a substantial setback, and unfortunately, it led to her exclusion from the Super Falcons’ roster for the 2024 Olympic Games set to take place in Paris, as she was unable to fully recover in time.
Despite these hurdles, Plumptre’s perseverance has paid off. She has been named in a selected group of 20 players by interim head coach Justine Madugu, marking her return to the national team ahead of the friendly match scheduled for Sunday.
This announcement is a pivotal moment in her career, serving as both a reward for her hard work and an opportunity for her to showcase her skills once again on an international stage.
Ahead of the international friendly match against France, Ashleigh Plumptre took to social media to share her enthusiasm about being back with the national team.
“It feels great to have made the Super Falcons list for the upcoming international games. This is a fantastic opportunity to fight for the badge again,” she wrote.
So far in her career, Plumptre has established herself as a key player, having made 17 appearances for Nigeria. Her resilience and dedication continue to inspire both her teammates and fans alike as she prepares to step back into action with the Super Falcons.
