Super Falcons defender, Tosin Demehin has expressed her happiness at returning to action after a long injury layoff.

Demehin, who plays for Reims in the Première Ligue, missed several months due to the injury.

Her timely recovery allowed her to join Nigeria’s Paris 2024 Olympics squad, and she made her comeback in the opening game against Brazil on Thursday.

“Buzzing to get back on the pitch after several months off. Grateful and thankful to the Almighty for this opportunity. BACK AND STRONGER,” Demehin shared on social media.

Despite the personal triumph of her return, the match did not go as planned, with Nigeria suffering a 1-0 defeat to Brazil in Bordeaux.

The defender’s return is seen as a significant boost for the Super Falcons as they continue their Olympic campaign.
