Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has said she has been out of the Super Falcons setup for months because she needed more time to take care of her body.
Plumptre was one of the Falcons’ best players during the tournament, having participated in all four World Cup games.
After her contract with Leicester City expired, several clubs fought for her services as a result of her outstanding performance at the World Cup.
Despite having a fantastic start to life in the Middle East, the 25-year-old defender hasn’t played in any of the Falcons’ three post-World Cup games since moving to Saudi Arabia.
Plumptre stated that she would like to return to the Falcons in the future but has to be in important games and when she is in top shape.
She said: “I guess it has been a break. I haven’t been able to go to the upcoming, camp, like I said, it’s more of a personal decision while I take care of my body.
“But ultimately, I want to be fun with the team. It’s a privilege. And I want to be in the best physical condition to be able to go and compete in important games.
