PSG's Rasheedat Ajibade to Undergo Surgery for Injury

Rasheedat Ajibade, the 26-year-old captain of the Super Falcons, will undergo surgery after suffering a fibula fracture while on international duty with Nigeria. The injury occurred during Nigeria’s second-leg match against Comoros in the second qualifying round of the 2028 Olympic Games at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne, where she was forced off in the 23rd minute and replaced by Folashade Ijamilusi.

Nigeria secured a 5-0 victory, advancing with a 7-0 aggregate score. Paris Saint-Germain Féminine confirmed that Ajibade's surgery will be performed by one of the club's leading surgeons, followed by rehabilitation under the supervision of their medical team.

The club did not specify the duration of her sidelining or a timeline for her return to competitive action. This injury represents a setback for Ajibade, an important figure in Nigeria’s women’s national team, who previously played for Atlético Madrid before joining PSG.
