Oparanozie close to full fitness ahead of Nigeria, Australia clash
Nigeria’s Desire Oparanozie is making significant progress in her recovery from injury and could feature in the upcoming clash against co-hosts Australia at Lang Park on Thursday. The power forward trained separately from the rest of the team, showcasing her kicking skills on the side of the pitch under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff.
Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, who impressed with a crucial penalty save against Christine Sinclair, was given some rest to relax her nerves after her standout performance. Oparanozie’s potential return to the pitch would be crucial for Nigeria, especially with the need for additional goals and Asisat Oshoala nursing a knock.
The Nigerian technical crew also has the versatility of Jennifer Echegini and Uchenna Kanu available for selection in the roster.
In contrast, Australia’s captain, Sam Kerr, remains uncertain for the upcoming match, as she continues to recover from an injury that kept her out of the first game against Ireland.
