Super Falcons defender, Ashleigh Plumptre has been ruled out of the 2024 Paris Olympics playoffs against South Africa due to injury.

Jumoke Alani has therefore replaced the Saudi Arabia-based defender.

Plumptre is the second experienced defender to miss out on the crunch qualifiers after France-based Tosin Demehin was also forced out by injury.

The Super Falcons welcome South Africa to Abuja Friday with the return leg in Pretoria five days later.
