Super Falcons and Pachuca striker Chinwendu Ihezuo is officially back from injury. The Nigerian forward suffered a serious ankle injury during Pachuca’s league clash against Pumas on 22 March 2026, a moment that raised major concern due to how severe it appeared.
Softfootball gathered, after a difficult recovery period, Ihezuo has now returned to full training and has already been named in Pachuca’s matchday squad twice, a massive boost for the team.
Her comeback is particularly impressive as she has beaten the expected recovery timeline, returning earlier than many anticipated.
Seeing her back on the training pitch again is a positive sign, especially after fears surrounding the initial injury. Ihezuo is now back doing what she loves, and her return strengthens Pachuca’s attacking options for the remainder of the season.
