“Minor injury but fully focused on the return in the new year
Thank you to the fans who continue to turn up, show up and support.
Words are words, I know, but the shared passion is there,” she tweeted.
The 23-year-old switched her international allegiance to Nigeria earlier this year after sorting all documents of eligibility late last year.
Plumptre was born in Leicester, England on May 8, 1998, to English parents but her Nigerian roots can be traced to her grandfather, a Yoruba man.
Plumptre has played for England’s teams but she publicly declared her interest in playing for Nigeria in 2021.
