The English-Nigerian made the news known to the public through her social media handles where she thanked her fans and National and club teammates for their love during the process.
The Al-lttihad Ladies defender disclosed that she was happy that the surgery has been done after times of trying to understand what was wrong with her.
"Thank you to everyone at @ittiladiesclub and to Dr Pieter D’Hooge at @Aspetar for supporting me through my first surgery.
It’s been a long time coming trying to get answers but I’m so grateful to now be at this stage.
To my @NGSuper_Falcons teammates and nigerian fans… thank you for your patience and understanding when I’ve not been able to be with you. I can honestly say I have fought as hard and for as long as I can with this pain. I can’t wait to be back healthy with you all.
My club - @ittiladiesclub.
I’m so grateful to be surrounded by some really great humans at this club. Thank you, all of you, for helping me through and supporting me every step of the way", she posted on X.
It will be recalled that Ashleigh Plumptre missed out on the Olympic qualifiers clash against African Champions South Africa due to injury and Jumoke Alani was called to be her replacement.
