However, another top star of the team, Desire Oparanozie who plies her trade in Sweden was left out of the team for alleged indiscipline in the past but NFF officials kept sealed lips over the reason she was not called up despite her current blistering form.

The player herself has come out to say she was not surprised at her non-invitation and will concentrate on her professional career and hope for a better future. Some NFF officials are however quick to say the striker still has a bright future with Falcons and will be included in future games.
