FC Nantes winger Moses Simon looks set to start for the Super Eagles against Libya tomorrow as coach Augustine Eguavoen goes for broke on the way to sealing qualification to the 2025 AFCON.
Last month, Moses Simon was a second-half replacement for Milan star Chukwueze.
He replaced Chukwueze in the 63rd minute of the match against Benin in Uyo and provided the assist for Ademola Lookman’s second goal on the day.
He then came off the bench again for the same player in the 46th minute in Rwanda.
Moses Simon was one of the top stars at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, where Eguavoen was previously in charge of the Super Eagles.
He has been sharp in training in Uyo, playing regularly for his French Ligue 1 club and his direct play and willingness to help out in defence will stand in good stead in competition for first-team places.
