According to a report by Daily Post on Monday October 26, 2026, Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has begun her recovery following successful surgery for a fractured fibula, providing an encouraging update for Nigeria and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Nigerian forward sustained the injury during the second leg of the country's 2028 Olympic Games qualifying tie against Comoros at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne.
Ajibade was forced off in the 28th minute of the encounter, with Folashade Ijamilusi introduced as her replacement.
According to DAILY POST, the 26-year-old underwent surgery last week and has now started the rehabilitation process as she works towards regaining full fitness.
The injury represents a setback for both PSG and the Super Falcons, given Ajibade's importance to the two sides. Her experience, attacking quality and leadership make her a valuable figure for club and country.
However, PSG are yet to announce an official timeline for her return to competitive action, leaving uncertainty over how long she will remain on the sidelines.
Ajibade is expected to focus on her rehabilitation, with her progress determining when she can resume training and eventually return to the pitch.
For now, the successful surgery and start of her recovery represent positive steps. Nigerian supporters will be hoping the Super Falcons captain makes a full recovery and returns to action as soon as she is medically ready.
