Dennerby: Super Falcons will not under-rate Gambia
Nigeria’s Super Falcons will not under-rate their Gambia counterparts
when the whistle goes for kick-off in their 2018 Women Africa Cup of
Nations qualifying match at the Independence Stadium in Bakau on
Wednesday.
Coach Thomas Dennerby has assured that the eight-time continental
champions will field their full strength against the fellow West
Africans, who eliminated Burkina Faso’s senior girls to reach the
final round of the qualifying race.
In the absence of Skipper Rita Chikwelu who will join the squad for
the return leg in Lagos on Monday, the captain’s armband may go to
defender Onome Ebi.
The Falcons are loaded to the hilt with experienced goalkeeper Alaba
Jonathan, defenders Faith Michael, Josephine Chukwunonye, Ebi and
Ngozi Ebere, midfielders Ngozi Okobi, Halimat Ayinde and Francisca
Ordega and forwards Asisat Oshoala, Desire Oparanozie and Anam Imo
among the contingent in Banjul.
The two teams will clash in the second and final leg of the qualifying
series at the Agege Stadium, Lagos on Monday 11th June.
