NFF TO PUNISH MOSES, SUCCESS FOR SNUBBING ZAMBIA MATCH

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), is
reportedly set to ban the Super Eagles duo of
Victor Moses and Isaac Success, after they
pulled out of Sunday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier
against Zambia in Ndola.
Officials of the federation feel that the two
players did not make genuine claims about their
injuries and have decided to investigate the
matter.
If the claims are found to be false, the NFF will
discipline them and may even choose not to
invite them in future.
Both Moses and Success played for their Premier
League clubs last weekend.
Moses started his first league game for Chelsea
in three years, while Success came off the
bench to score for Watford in their 2-2 draw with
Bournemouth.
“We know the two players had good games and
there was no sign of injury on the duo during or
after the game,” an NFF source told
Completesportsnigeria.com.
“It came as a surprise to hear later that Moses
was injured and that he would not be available
for the game and Success finished his team’s
game before claiming injury.
“Honestly, they won’t go unpunished if our
investigation turns out as we are suspecting. In
fact, we are considering writing a protest to FIFA
if we find out that they connived with their
respective clubs to feign injuries and stay away
from the matches.”
Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has already called up
Godwin Obaje of Wikki Tourists and Chisom
Egbuchulam of League Champions, Enugu
Rangers, to take their places.
