The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned Chelsea wingback, Victor Moses, to be more committed to the national team or miss out on
winning the African Footballer of the Year award.
Moses reported to the team’s camp ahead of the friendly against Senegal, but
returned to the Premier League club, after claiming he was carrying a knock.
It is understood that coach Gernot Rohr was
visibly angry with the player , who had previously pulled out....
In an interview with The Guardian, NFF
President Amaju Pinnick, said: “Moses needs to
understand that with his current performance
with Chelsea, he stands a chance of becoming
the next African player of the year, especially if
his club should win the EPL title.
“But he needs to play regularly for the national
team to make such dream come true. To be
honest, Moses is one of the best African
players at the moment, but as I said, he needs the Super Eagles.”
Speaking further, Pinnick, who is expected to join the Super Eagles camp in London, revealed
he had a chat with Moses yesterday “and during
our conversation, Moses said that he actually
wanted to play in the friendly against Senegal
but for the injury. He is coming to see me
tomorrow (today) when I arrive in London.”
Moses was expected to feature in the second friendly against Burkina Faso, which has now
been called off.
