Chelsea midfielder, Victor Moses, is still being expected in the Super Eagles camp, barely three days to the Zambia cracker.
Three-time African champions, Nigeria, play host to the Chipolopolo in their bid to qualify for their sixth FIFA World Cup final.
And Moses, 26, one of 23 players invited by coach Gernot Rohr for the encounter, was nowhere to be found as on Tuesday evening.
According to information made available by the team officials, all but the Chelsea wing-back have arrived the Eagles base in Uyo.
In camp(at 10pm Mon).
Mikel, Echiejile, Ighalo, Ekong, Balogun, Musa, Shehu, Agu, Ndidi, Iheanacho, Ogu, Etebo, Nwakaeme, Ezenwa, Ajiboye.— ?? Super Eagles (@NGSuperEagles) October 2, 2017
Camp latest:
Daniel Akpeyi, Uche Agbo, @OnaziOgenyi, @alexiwobi, @MosesDaddySimon, @Aina2Ola & @AwaziemC have arrived in Uyo.— ?? Super Eagles (@NGSuperEagles) October 3, 2017
Moses’ surprise delay will come as a huge setback to the national team handlers considering he wasn’t even involved in the Blues’ 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
More worrying is the fact that fellow Premier League star, Alex Iwobi, who featured for Arsenal almost 24 hours after, has arrived the country.
Moses was in scintillating form the last time out, scoring one and lacing another for his teammate against Cameroon.
