New club Benfica do not want Janet ‘Semenya’ Akekoromowei to play for the Falconets at next month’s U20 World Cup in Poland, while the striker and her camp want to.
SCORENigeria has learnt a showdown meeting will take place later today on this nagging issue.
Portuguese champions Benfica maintained that Semenya has not fully recovered from a horror ankle injury, which she suffered on national team duty that sidelined her for several months.
They have therefore barnished her to the B team as a result.
The player as well as her representatives favour her playing at the World Cup, SCORENigeria further learnt.
She is now due to return to Nigeria later this week to work on travel papers.
