The duo are unable to join the Super Eagles due to
persistent injury concerns and have given the coaching crew cause for
concern with the key matches coming up in a few weeks

Victor Moses and Kalu Uche are out of
Nigeria’s
June World Cup qualifying matches and the Confederations Cup as well as
the international friendly match against Mexico due to injuries.
In a message sent to the team’s camp in Germany on Monday, Uche
claimed to have been playing with injury in the Turkish league for
Kasimpasaspor. It is Uche’s first invitation to the national team since
2011.
“He wants to rest on the advice of his club doctor, he will be taking
advantage of the off season to undergo treatment,” Eagles Team
Coordinator, Emmanuel Attah disclosed from Germany on Monday.
“Moses on the other hand according to a message from his club, will
be out in order to treat his recurring injury and won't be fit on time
to be part of Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying and Confederations Cup
campaign.
“He will however be with the Chelsea team during the pre-season
training in the USA so as to be monitored closely by the Chelsea Doctor.
He will however not participate in the Chelsea training program,” Attah
disclosed.
Coach Stephen Keshi is not happy with this last minute information
from the players, considering the fact that they played for their
respective clubs throughout the season up till the last game, he however
said there is no cause for alarm, as he has players that will deliver
the World Cup ticket and also make Nigerians proud in the Confederations
Cup.
