The forward’s physical presence and attacking intelligence will be vital for the Falconets against the Senegalese.
Kareem is known for her pace and creativity in midfield, while Moshood’s composure and work rate is expected to add balance to the team.
The likes of captain Joy Igbokwe, Taiwo Afolabi, and Farida Abdulwahab are also expected to start the game.
The Falconets will be without key defenders Oluchi Ohaegbulem and Mistura Yusuf, but they have adequate cover to deal with the duo’s absence.
Another reliable defender, Hannah Ayoade Ibrahim has recovered from illness, and is available for selection.
