Nigeria had their first training session in Russia ahead of their opening group D game of World Cup 2018 game against Croatia on Saturday in Essentuki.
Owngoalnigeria.com witnessed the session and from our checks it appears Chelsea star Victor Moses is in danger of missing out on a starting spot for the game on Saturday.
Leicester City ace Ahmed Musa looks prime to take his place in the starting line up as he put up another lively performance in training playing for the team who are likely to start against Croatia.
Musa was very commanding with the ball at his feet and his pace troubled the defenders he was up against, a continuation of the good form he has been showing in training since before the game against Czech Republic.
On the other hand Moses is yet to truly get his bearing right in training and even in the games he played. A situation which the technical crew are linking to possible burn out as he was heavily involved in Chelsea’s campaign in the just ended season.
