Int’l Friendly: S/Eagles Stars Arrive Camp As Injured Moses Excused

No fewer than 17 of the invited Super Eagles players have arrived the team’s Crowne Plaza Hotel London camp for the friendly games against Senegal and Burkina Faso.

Nigeria will meet Senegal’s Teranga Lions on Thursday and play against Etalons of Burkina Faso four days later.

Both matches will be played at The Hive, home ground of Barnet Football Club‎.

Players already in camp are Ahmed Musa, Leicester City teammate, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Shehu Abdullahi, Chidozie Awaziem, Isaac Success, Ogenyi Onazi, Carl Ikeme, Bazee Noah and Alex Iwobi.

Also in for the double-header include, Kelechi Iheanacho, William Troost-Ekong, John Ogu and Kenneth Omeruo.

However, Chelsea star, Victor Moses, will be missing in action after he picked up a knock in his side’s FA Cup quarter final clash against Manchester United in which he limped out in the closing stages of the match.

He was advised not to feature in the international break after playing over an hour of Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Stoke City last Saturday.

Officials of the Super Eagles confirmed the Chelsea winger arrived camp on Monday but will be excused on Tuesday due to injury.

The two friendly games are part of preparations for the Eagles ahead of the 2019 AFCON and 2018 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Cameroun respectively.
