Ajibade, Echegini Return to PSG Training Ahead of Champions League Qualifier

Super Falcons stars Rasheedat Ajibade and Jennifer Echegini have returned to Paris Saint-Germain training following their involvement with Nigeria at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

Sport247 reports that the Nigerian duo rejoined their PSG teammates on Wednesday as the French club intensified preparations for their upcoming UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifying clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Both Ajibade and Echegini looked sharp during the training session, marking an important step in their transition back to club football after representing Nigeria on the continental stage.

Their return provides a significant boost to PSG as the club prepares for a demanding Champions League qualification fixture.

Ajibade has established herself as an important figure for both club and country, while Echegini has continued to develop her reputation as one of Nigeria’s exciting attacking midfielders.

The pair will now turn their attention back to PSG as they look to regain full match fitness and compete for places in the squad ahead of the new season.

PSG are scheduled to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifiers on Thursday at 6:00pm.

The encounter will provide Ajibade and Echegini with an opportunity to make an immediate impact following their return from international duty, although the final decision on their involvement will rest with the PSG technical team.

Their presence could prove valuable for the French side as they begin their European campaign, with PSG targeting progression to the next stage of the competition.

For the Nigerian internationals, the fixture also represents the beginning of another demanding club season after a busy period with the Super Falcons.

Both players will be hoping to carry their international form into the PSG setup and play important roles as the French giants pursue success domestically and in Europe.

With Ajibade and Echegini back in the fold, PSG have welcomed two key Nigerian internationals back at a crucial stage of their preparations.

The focus now shifts to Frankfurt, where the Super Falcons duo could make their presence felt on the European stage once again.
