Victor Moses has disclosed that he will not be participating in Nigeria’s forthcoming international friendly matches against Cameroon and DR Congo in the FIFA international week holding this October.
The Chelsea star who is currently on loan to West Ham United says he is withdrawing from both games to safeguard against injury.
Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh received the news calmly and says he will now tackle both games with the players that are available to him.
Oliseh said, “We have no choice now but to work with the other players who are available. The fact that the other batch of players from home were not issued their visas last week is also setting us back because we would really want to take advantage of the time to put in a lot of work.”
Moses is not the first Nigerian international to pull out. Celtic centre-back, Efe Ambrose has since been called up to replace Chelsea defender, Kenneth Omeruo who also pulled out of both friendlies with injury.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to go against the Leopards of Democratic Republic of Congo in Vise, Liege, on Thursday, October 8. After this, they will be going up against Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions in Dendermonde on Sunday, October 11.
