France midfielder Sandie Toletti has warned her teammates to expect a tough challenge from Nigeria's Super Falcons in their friendly match on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 29-year-old, who has played against some of the Super Falcons' top stars in the Spanish Liga F, believes the Nigerian team's physicality will make them a difficult opponent to overcome.

"I worked with players in Spain. It will be a fight, they are very physical," Toletti told L'équipe.

"They play in the biggest European clubs or in the United States. It will be hard."

The friendly match, which will take place at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, is part of France's preparations for the UEFA Nations League in February and the European Championship next summer.
