Nigeria’s Super Falcons’ Tosin Demehin risks missing the all-important game with Republic of Ireland if she is cautioned on Thursday against Co-host, Australia in the second Group B tie.
Demehin who partnered Osinachi Ohale in the central defence, is expected to feature again in the second group game following her outstanding performance in the goalless draw with Olympic Champions, Canada but she must complete the game without being booked.
Besides that and the unfortunate red card received by Deborah Abiodun, the Super Falcons will have a near-full strength when they battle co-hosts, Australia in a Group B match of the Women’s World Cup on Thursday.

The duo of Rasheedat Ajibade (shirt number 15) and Halimatu Ayinde (shirt number 18) who were suspended for the earlier match with Canada will both be available for selection for Thursday’s match with their names off those with issues after FIFA released the disciplinary preview of forthcoming matches.
However, 19-year old h Abiodun who was expelled in the added time of the game with Canada is suspended from Thursday’s match.
Another player on caution list for Thursday’s match is Netherlands’ Danielelle Van de Donk in match with USA. America’s Lindsey Horan also has a caution.
The duo of Jessica Silva and Diana Gomes Portugal are also on caution list ahead of the match with Vietnam whose Vie Huynh cannot afford a second caution ahead of their last group match.
