Breaking: Moses Ruled Out Of 2018 World Cup by reportminds(op): 6:13pm On May 27, 2018
Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, is now left with 29 players from which to select his team for the 2018 World Cup, after Moses Simon was ruled out of the tournament as a result of an injury.

Simon, who plays for Belgian Jupiler League side, Gent, will not feature in Monday’s friendly against the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, nor the subsequent game against England on June 2.

Rohr confirmed the development to Premium Times in Port Harcourt.

“It is unfortunate Moses Simon will not be travelling with the team on Tuesday because he is down with an injury.

“The nature of his injury is such that he won’t be recovering quickly enough to make the World Cup,” Rohr said.

Meanwhile, the German coach will drop four more players from the squad after the game against DR Congo

Junior Ajayi should be called up to replace him

We need a winger to replace Moses Simon

Or Henry Onyekuru if he is fit

Victor Moses, Ahmed Musa, Iwobi are the only other wingers we have

Henry Onyekuru would be fantastic, if he is fit.

Rosskii:

You are right, Onyekuru is a very good winger and unpredictable

Iwobi is a bit predictable and more a future number 10 than a winger

That means we only have Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa. That’s not good for a team that may want to play 4-2-3-1 at the World Cup

Rohr must replace Moses Simon with a Winger

Like you say Onyekuru could be good
