Ashleigh Plumptre, a defender for the Super Falcons, intends to start the new year by playing fully again.
The center-back suffered a hamstring injury in Leicester City’s 8-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend.
Plumptre is now expected to be out for the rest of the season.
The 23-year-old took to social media to thank her fans for their support, stating that she is fully focused on returning to the field of play.
“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.
Plumptre has made 14 league appearances for the Foxes this season.
Willie Kirk’s side is yet to record a win in the Women’s Super League this term.
