Ebi missed the team’s training and she has been declared unfit by Super Falcons Coach Randy Waldrum for the toe against Zambia.

The 39 year-old Defender is now expected to be sidelined for between six weeks or two months.

Onome Ebi is the third player to be ruled out of the game, after Rasheedat Ajibade and Halimatu Ayinde who were both sent off against Morocco.
