increased their chances of qualifying for the next round of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup with the win over Australia and will finish as group winners if they triumph against debutants Republic of Ireland, who have nothing to play for.
Osinachi Ohale, who put her life on the line to score Nigeria’s second goal, and Toni Payne, who collided with Katrina Gorry but played till the 90th minute before being substituted for captain Onome Ebi, may not face the Irish. Meanwhile, Halimatu Ayinde, that limped off the pitch in the second half, isn’t confirmed fit to play as well.
Moreso, Coach Waldrum will cautiously select players as the trio of Asisat Oshoala, Blessing Demehin, and Michelle Alozie, who were booked in the last game, risk missing the round of 16 if they get booked against Ireland on Monday. Deborah Abiodun, the first player to be shown a red card in the World Cup, will miss Monday’s clash to complete her punishment.
While it is essential to keep the chemistry in the winning team, Waldrum must take note of players that were not up to the task in the previous game.The stand-in captain Chiamaka Nnadozie would maintain her position for her coordination and heroics in the competition. However, she needs to do better, especially in ball service, which almost cost the team against Australia.
