The 19-year-old became the first player to be given a red card in the on-going Women's World Cup and thus suspended from two matches. She was not fielded in Nigeria's 3-2 defeat of Australia last Thursday.

Sports Village has obtained the confirmation of her exclusion from FIFA. The document also indicated that Asisat Oshoala, Blessing Demehin and Michelle Alozie are on caution list and risk missing the next match if they get booked in Monday's match.
