Nigeria handler Sunday Oliseh insists Victor Moses is still in
his plans despite the West Ham United forward not featuring
for the country since he took charge in 2015.
The 25-year-old has scored seven times in 24 appearances
for the Super Eagles since making his international debut in
2012.
And Oliseh said the former England youth international is in
his plans and could be handed a call-up for the country’s
crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt in
March.
"Yes, Victor Moses is still in our plan. All the players who
are eligible to play for us are still in our plans aside those
who have retired from the national team," he told
Completesportsnigeria.com.
"The truth is that I will put a 'but' to it at the moment. This
team started with the game against Tanzania and is
evolving.
"We have played 14 games since I took charge of the team
and we lost our first official game against Guinea at the
African Nations Championship.
"We have like seven or eight players from the CHAN team
that are good enough to play for the main Super Eagles.
"It's good when you have a large pool of players to pick
from, so everyone will have to fight for a place in the team,”
he concluded.
Nigeria are second behind the Pharaohs in Group G’s
qualifying zone with four points from two games, and they
must defeat the north Africans in March to qualify
automatically for the championship billed for Gabon
