Nigeria’s Super Falcons will have a near-full strength when they battle co-hosts, Australia in a Group B match of the Women’s World Cup on Thursday. The duo of Rasheedat Ajibade (shirt number 15) and Halimatu Ayinde (shirt number 18) who were suspended for the earlier match with Canada are now cleared for Thursday’s match.
Their names are not on the list of those who have disciplinary issues as FIFA has released the disciplinary preview of forthcoming matches and Sports Village Square is in possession of the documents.
However, 19-year old Deborah Abiodun who was expelled in the added time of the game with Canada is suspended from Thursday’s match.
Also, the disciplinary review points out that Blessing Demehin who was cautioned in the match with Canada will miss the third Group B match against Ireland if she is cautioned in Thursday match against Australia.
Another player on caution list for Thursday’s match is Netherlands’ Danielelle Van de Donk in match with USA. America’s Lindsey Horan also has a caution.
The duo of Jessica Silva and Diana Gomes Portugal are also on caution list ahead of the match with Vietnam whose Vie Huynh cannot afford a second caution ahead of their last group match.
