Nigeria had their first training session in Russia ahead of their
opening group D game of World Cup 2018 game against Croatia on
Saturday in Essentuki.
It appears Chelsea star Victor Moses is in danger of missing out on a
starting spot for the game on Saturday.
Leicester City ace Ahmed Musa looks prime to take his place in the
starting line up as he put up another lively performance in training
playing for the team who are likely to start against Croatia.
Musa was very commanding with the ball at his feet and his pace
troubled the defenders he was up against, a continuation of the good
form he has been showing in training since before the game against
Czech Republic.
On the other hand Moses is yet to truly get his bearing right in
training and even in the games he played. A situation which the
technical crew are linking to possible burn out as he was heavily
involved in Chelsea’s campaign in the just ended season.
The training session witnessed a practice match between the players of
the team in a manner of the possibles against the probables.
Coach Gernot Rohr supervised the session and it ended 2-1 in favour of
the team likely to start against Croatia on Saturday in Nigeria’s
first World Cup 2018 group game.
The game ended 2-1 in favour of the team with players likely to start
against Croatia as goals from Ahmed Musa and captain John Obi Mikel
powered them to victory despite Kelechi Iheanacho netting for the B
team.
