The 23-year-old was on target for Leicester City this weekend also.
A message on the official Twitter handle of the Super Falcons said, “Captain Asisat Oshoala from Barcelona and England-based defender Ashleigh Plumptre are also here and were part of our training this morning. Meanwhile, @RWSuperFalcons has trimmed the squad, letting off five players. We are now 25 in camp. #SoarSuperFalcons #team9jastrong.”
