Gent forward Moses Simon will not be a part of the Super Eagles squad to the Russia 2018 World Cup, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
The winger, who played a key role in Nigeria’s qualification for the tournament, has been struggling with an injury and sat out the team’s training in Port Harcourt on Sunday as they prepared for Monday’s pre-World Cup friendly against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
CSN had reported two days ago that Simon would miss the Congo friendly with a thigh injury, and it appears he will not be able to shake it off before the World Cup, which starts on 14 June. Nigeria’s first match in Russia is against Croatia on 16 June.“Moses Simon will not be travelling with the team on Tuesday because he’s injured,” Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr told reporters in Port Harcourt after the team’s training session.
“The nature of his injury is such that he won’t be recovering quickly enough to make the World Cup.
“It’s really unfortunate but he remains in my future plans.”
Camp sources also confirmed to CSN that Simon is not going to be fit in time to make the World Cup squad.
