Super Falcons Forward Okoronkwo Sidelined for Six Weeks After Meniscus Injury

Esther Okoronkwo will be out for about six weeks after suffering a meniscus injury in AFC Toronto’s league clash against Halifax. The 29-year-old forward sustained knee damage that is expected to sideline her through the next fixtures. Head coach Marco Milanovic remains confident despite the setback. He praised the team’s depth and urged other attackers to seize the chance, saying that any injury “presents an opportunity for someone else.” Okoronkwo now aims to recover in time for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. She registered two goals and six assists at the last edition of the tournament.
