Moses forced to pull out of Nigeria squad due to injury

Thegoalmac can reveal that our very own Victor Moses has withdrawn from the Nigeria squad for the upcoming African Nations Cup qualifiers against Sudan after suffering a recurrence of a thigh injury.

Moses, 23, was recalled by the Super Eagles for the Group A matches in Khartoum, Sudan on Saturday and Abuja, Nigeria next Wednesday after being dropped following the World Cup.


However, the winger was injured while playing for Stoke City in the 3-1 defeat at Sunderland on Saturday, and the Nigerian Football Federation confirmed on Tuesday that he will miss the back-to-back games against Sudan as a result.

Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has named Edem Eduok, who plays for Nigerian club Dolphins, as Moses' replacement.

Nigeria, the African Nations Cup holders, have picked up just one point from their opening two qualifying matches for the 2015 finals in Morocco, drawing 0-0 with South Africa after losing 3-2 to Congo DR.
Thegoalmac wishes Mr Victor swift and quick recovery.
