365Daily – Super Falcons striker, Asisat Oshoala, is back in action with her club, Barcelona, after a two month break caused by a ligament strain.
The injury was sustained at the Wafcon match where the Falcons were defeated 2-1 by South Africa in their opening match of the tournament.
Oshoala’s recovery and return was confirmed on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, by Barcelona.
“This Tuesday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper was the first training session since the start of the international exodus,” the club said via a statement.
“Among the few footballers that the coaching staff has been able to count on the field were Asisat Oshoala, Laia Codina, and Nuria Rabano. All three have started to work with the group, given the process of recovery from their respective injuries.”
Oshoala will be hoping for another successful season with the Spanish side, having won a domestic treble of league, Super Cup and Copa de la Reina in 2021-22.
The Super Falcons striker showed her quality in Spain once more, winning the Golden Boot Award having netted 20 league goals despite missing two months of action due to a thigh injury.
