Nigeria Super Eagles international Moses Simon has faced career threatening injuries in recent times as he is now set to return to sidelines after an ankle injury.

Simon recovered from a broken fibula that threatened to keep him out of action for the rest of the season.

But the super Eagles man fought his way back to full fitness but has been sidelined due to another injury.

Simon has been an unused sub by coach Finidi George in his two games against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Benin Republic.

Though the extent of the injury has not been made public yet but he’s expected to be out for a considerable amount of time.
