According to a source at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Rohr will assess the situation today to ascertain ‘who is coming and who is out injured’ before deciding whether to call up new players or not.

Simon’s injury has been assessed by Gent’s medics, who have advised him not to travel to Africa and Russia for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria and the international friendly against Argentina.

Victor Moses is the most conspicuous absentee in Coach Gernot Rohr’s list of players for Nigeria’s last World Cup qualifying game against Algeria and the international friendly with Argentina in Russia next month.
