Ini Umotong has admitted that her poor run of goalscoring at Brighton cost her a place in Nigeria's 2019 Women's World Cup squad.
Umotong had excelled on her international debut for Nigeria against Mali in an All African Games qualifier on March 22, 2015, and also made the squad to the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.
However, she was left out of the France-bound squad by Thomas Dennerby in 2019 despite being part of the set-up since January, breaking her international duck in a 3-0 win over Romania in China.
