The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been bolstered by the return of winger Moses Simon as they prepare for crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Simon, who missed FC Nantes’ recent 3-1 loss to Strasbourg due to a knee injury, has resumed training and is expected to feature for his club against Olympic Marseille this weekend.
Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré confirmed Simon’s recovery, stating at a press conference, “Moses Simon is back with us. He had minor knee problems.”
The 29-year-old winger had been in strong form before his injury, providing an assist in Nigeria’s 1-0 victory over Libya last month, a performance that underscored his importance to the national squad.
The Super Eagles are set to face Benin Republic away on Thursday, November 13, before hosting Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on November 17.
Simon’s return brings a welcome boost to the team as they aim to secure their place in the continental tournament.
