Asisat Oshoala has been
left out of Super Falcon squad for next month's friendly against France due to
issue with her Chinese club where she returned for pre-season training.
Officials
of Dalian Quanjian FC are said to be unhappy with the three-time
African footballer of the year winner.
According
to BBCSports "Asisat Oshoala was in [Nigeria] coach Thomas Dennerby's
plans but her Chinese club was not ready to release her because she overstayed
in Nigeria," a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) told
BBC Sport.
In
her defence, the former Liverpool and Arsenal striker insists she is missing
the high-profile friendly to sort out her work permit in China.
Oshoala
was in the original squad of 23 for the game in Le Mans on 6 April alongside
Onome Ebi, Rashidat Ajibade, Alaba Jonathan, Chinwendu Ihezuo and Uchechi
Sunday, who have also been omitted.
