Midfielder Halimatu Ayinde is the affected player after her parent club Rosengard confirmed the development.

“ Unfortunately, Halimatu Ayinde injured her knee during training yesterday and will miss the Olympics

We wish her a speedy recovery. Come on, Halimatu! 💪 “

With her omission, Coach Randy Waldrum is expected to name a replacement soon likely from the alternate players.

Nigeria, are pitted in group C alongside Brazil, Japan and current World Champions, Spain.
