Fans of Oshoala turned out to celebrate on boxing day with Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen present at the special occasion.
Unlike previous editions, Oshoala could not participate in the encounter as she is currently recovering from an injury.
Oshoala suffered a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament in her right knee while playing for Barcelona Femeni in a UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage fixture against German outfit TSG Hoffenheim played on Wednesday, November 10, 2021.
She was ruled out of action for two months and is still with braces on her foot.
She posted several photos on her official Instagram account with a caption that said, “Product of the TRENCHES”
