Former Super Eagles handler, Samson Siasia has stated that forward, Moses Simon will be a big miss for Gernot Rohr’s side if he misses out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia due to injury.
Simon who plays for Belgian Jupiler League side, Gent, has been ruled out of the tournament because of injury .
“Let’s wait for the final list first before arguing this,” Siasia told CSN.
“But if he is left out, he will be a big miss for the team. He brings a different attacking quality to the team,” he added.
Simon scored one goal and provided two assists for Rohr’s side as they qualified for their sixth FIFA World Cup from a group that had Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia.
Nigeria played a 1-1 draw with DR Congo on Monday evening at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
