Falconets' Janet Akekoromowei Out for Two Months Due to Injury
Janet Akekoromowei, a striker for the Falconets, has been ruled out for approximately two months due to an ankle injury. This injury occurred during the first leg of Nigeria's 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup third qualifying round tie against the Lioness of Senegal.
The match, which took place under the management of coach Mose Aduku, ended with Nigeria winning 1-0, thanks to a second-half strike from Kind Ifeanyi. Akekoromowei, who is 18 years old and plays for Bayelsa Queens, is already ruled out for the second leg of the qualifying round.
Her injury is expected to delay a potential move to a top club in Europe, which she was linked to prior to the injury.
