Moses returns to eagle ahead of Nigeria/ Egypt AFCON 2017 QUALIFIER.
Everything now points to West Ham striker now points to West Ham striker Victor Moses staging a return to the Super Eagles and playing for the very first time under Sunday Oliseh when Nigeria face Egypt in next month’s AFCON 2017 qualifier.
Hint to this effect was dropped yesterday by Oliseh who said the Edo-state born forward is in his plans ahead of the crucial game.
The 25-year-old had scored seven times in 24 appearances for the Super Eagles since making his international debut in 2012.
According to Goal.com, Oliseh said the former England youth international could be handed a call-up when he rolls out his squad for the match later this month.
“Yes, Victor Moses is still in our plan. All the players who are eligible to play for us are still in our plans aside those who have retired from the national team,” Oliseh stated.
The Eagles gaffer was however, quick in adding:
“The truth is that I will put a ‘but’ to it at the moment. This team started with the game against Tanzania and is evolving. We have played 14 games since I took charge of the team and we lost our first official game against Guinea at the African Nations Championship. We have like seven or eight players from the CHAN team that are good enough to play for the main Super Eagles. It’s good when you have a large pool of players to pick from, so everyone will have to fight for a place in the team.”
Nigeria is second behind the Pharaohs in Group G’s qualifying zone with four points from two games, and the Eagles must defeat the north Africans in March to qualify automatically for the championship billed for Gabon.
