Ashleigh Plumptre has revealed she is heartbroken she will not be at the Paris 2024 Olympics with the Super Falcons due to injury.
Plumptre, who has been out for a huge part of the year for Al-Ittihad women, had to go under the knife in late April and has still not recuperated fully.
The defender revealed that playing at the Olympics has always been a dream for her, but she has to listen to her body.
“Timings haven’t aligned to be in contention for the Olympic roster – a dream I’ve held since I can remember,” she said on X.
“Since having my surgery, I’ve worked in every area of my life to be in the best position to recover, but one thing I’ve learnt is how to really listen to my body!
“While on a personal note it’s a shame to miss out, I cannot put into words my excitement and pride in knowing I’ll be watching my @NGSuper_Falcons girls representing this flag on the Olympic stage.
“Go well, girls! Naija to the world! .”,
