In the 2021-2022 season, the Super Falcons and FC Barcelona Femeni forward sustained an injury that kept him out of football for four months.
Despite the injury, the 28-year-old Ikorodu-born forward managed to finish the season as the league’s top scorer with 20 goals.
Oshoala beat Madrid CFF’s Geyse to both the Pichichi and the women league titles. She helped Barcelona to win the Copa De Rina and reach the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in the same season.
