Falconets of Nigeria have received a major boost ahead of today’s crucial U20 World Cup clash against China after Benfica striker Janet ‘Semenya’ Akekoromowei rejoined the squad.
Nigeria have been in a tug-of-war with Benfica over the striker’s release for the World Cup.
She was the first player to arrive in Poland for the tournament only for her Portuguese club to order her back to base after claiming they did not clear her for the competition.
The Falconets lacked fire power when they fell 2-0 to European champions Spain in their opening group game and Semenya, who has been capped by both the Super Falcons and Flamingos, will now be expected to be thier main goals threat.
China re top of the group after a 5-0 bashing of debutants New Caledonia.
Kick-off today is 5pm.
