Oshoala injury scare for Nigeria as Dennerby prepares for Olympic qualifier in Algeria

Asisat Oshoala has given an untimely injury scare for Nigeria after the striker picked up a knock in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Montpelier on Sunday.

The Super Falcons are due to be in action on August 28 when they take on Algeria in the second round of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifiers before a reserve team fixture in Lagos on September 3.

Oshoala is one of the six for foreign professional players invited by Thomas Dennerby for the crucial ties with the North Africans, but Sunday's incident could see the West Africans miss her services.
