LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - England must beware of Nigeria striker Asisat Oshoala when they face the African nation for a place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Brisbane on Monday, according to Karen Carney.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder who was capped 144 times by England, believes England have hit form at just the right time but says Nigeria should not be taken lightly.
"She is a top quality striker who is more than capable of pulling something out of the bag," Carney said in an interview with Powerleague.
"Despite how good England were against China, Nigeria are a top nation that will cause us problems.
They have a world class striker and individual players that will be difficult for us.
