Days after injury ruled out the Girondins Bordeaux star from the national team’s engagements later this month, another France-based star has also been declared unavailable for the crucial games

The Super Eagles will be without the services of Moses Simon for the Afcon-qualifying games against the Benin Republic and Lesotho after Nantes blocked the winger from traveling out of France.

Through a press release published on their official website on Wednesday, French Ligue 1 side Nantes announced that the Nigeria international will not be reporting for international duty next week in Lagos, Nigeria.

Simon becomes the second Super Eagles forward to be confirmed unavailable for Gernot Rohr ahead of next fortnight’s matches, after injury ruled out Girondins Bordeaux’s Samuel Kalu.
