PSG Confirms Surgery for Nigeria Forward Rasheedat Ajibade After Fibula Injury

Paris Saint-Germain Féminine have confirmed that Nigerian international forward Rasheedat Ajibade will undergo surgery after suffering a fractured fibula during a recent national team fixture, according to a report by Daily Post Nigeria.

Injury During International Duty

The 26-year-old sustained the leg injury while competing for Nigeria’s Super Falcons in the second leg of a 2028 Olympic Games second-round qualifying encounter against Comoros. The fixture took place at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne.

Ajibade’s appearance was cut short early in the first half when she was forced off the pitch. She was substituted in the 23rd minute by Folashade Ijamilusi. Despite losing their forward early in the match, the Super Falcons went on to secure a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Comoros.

Surgical Intervention and Rehabilitation Plan

Following medical assessments, Paris Saint-Germain indicated that the forward will require surgical intervention to address the fracture. The procedure is set to be carried out by leading surgeons associated with the French club.

Once the operation is complete, Ajibade is scheduled to begin an extensive rehabilitation program supervised by the club’s medical staff. The French side has not yet released an official estimate for how long her recovery will take, noting that a definitive timeline will be provided in due course.

Impact on Club and Country

Ajibade’s impending absence presents an immediate challenge for both Paris Saint-Germain and Nigeria. The versatile attacker has been an established figure within the Super Falcons setup, serving as an integral piece of the national team’s tactical structure during key continental and international tournaments.

For PSG, managing player availability during congested competitive schedules is critical, and losing a key offensive option will necessitate adjustments in both domestic league and cup competitions. Further details regarding her expected return date and the progression of her post-surgery recovery are expected once her rehabilitation begins.
