Nigeria will challenge Burkina Faso on Sunday
for the AfCON trophy.
Nigeria and Chelsea FC skillful forward, Victor
Moses, has been ruled out of the final match
of the African Cup of Nations, AFCON 2013.
Moses picked up an injury in the first half of
the semi final match against Mali, and had to
be substituted after a great 45 minutes
display.
Prior to that match, however, Moses, who has
two goals in the tournament, had been injured,
missing Nigeria’s first game of the
tournament, against Burkina Faso, due to an
injury.
A top team official of the Super Eagles told
PREMIUM TIMES that the forward had “always
been injured since we are in Faro, Portugal
camp; but we have been managing and treating
it.”
“He has a torn muscle in his right leg and I
want to confirm to you that he won’t be able
to play at the finals of AFCON on Sunday, he
will be missed,” the official said.
“He (Moses) wants to do more and perform
extraordinarily, the doctor told me that he
won’t be able to make it! but let’s see how it
goes,” he added.
Moses and tournament joint highest goal
scorer, Emmanuel Emenike, both missed
Friday’s Super Eagles training due to their
injuries.
Russia based forward, Emenike, might still be
in for the final though.
“He’s showing prospect and has been assisted
by the team doctor, I hope he picks up today
(Saturday),” the official said.
Emenike, who has four goals at AfCON 2013,
sustained his injury towards the end of the
semi final match.
Keshi is expected to announce Moses and
Emenike’s health conditions at a press
conference later on Saturday.
Nigeria will play Burkina Faso in the final
match of the Nations Cup on Sunday.
