Russia 2018: Moses drops out due to injury


One of the players hoping to make it to the World Cup with Nigeria has dropped out of the race to Russia.
The 'unfortunate' player is Simon Moses who plays his club football in Belgium with Gent and was on the 30-man provisional World Cup list released before now.
“Moses Simon will not be traveling with the team on Tuesday because he’s injured,” Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr told reporters in Port Harcourt after the team’s training session.
“The nature of his injury is such that he won’t be recovering quickly enough to make the World Cup.
“It’s really unfortunate but he remains in my future plans.”
The Super Eagles will jet out to London on Tuesday where they will face England on 2 June in another warm-up match.
Four more players aside Moses Simon will not be making the London trip with the Eagles who after playing in Wembley will head off to Austria where they have a training camp and play a friendly with the Czech Republic, before going to Russia for the World Cup.

BREAKING: MUGABE FINALLY RESIGNS

Wild jubilation broke out among MPs and on the streets of Zimbabwe when Mudenda told the House. The 93-year-old Mugabe president  resigned in a letter he submitted to parliament hours after his party and Zimbabwe’s ruling party, Zanu-PF, presented a motion to impeach him. Mugabe had been accused of allowing his wife Grace, 52, hijack power and   being too old to rule. The Parliament’s leader said he was working on legal issues that would enable vice president, Emmerson ‘The Crocodile’ Mnangagwa, to take over within 48 hours. Mugabe’s sudden downfall lies in rivalry between members of Zimbabwe’s ruling elite over who will succeed him, rather than popular protests against his rule by the people. The army seized power after Mugabe sacked Mnangagwa, the ruling party’s favourite to succeed him. The move was perceived as a path to the presidency for his wife, who is widely hated for her lavish lifestyle report says.
