Super Eagles star, Moses Simon, has undergone a successful surgery to repair his fractured left leg following a collision with Mali goalkeeper Mamadou Samassa during a friendly match. The 28-year-old winger, who plays for French club Nantes, will miss the rest of the season as he begins his road to recovery.
The surgery, which took place on Friday, was a necessary step for Simon to start his rehabilitation process. Despite the setback, Simon has had a productive season with three goals and six assists for Nantes.
The injury occurred during Nigeria’s 2-0 loss to Mali, where Simon had to be carried off the field on a stretcher. The news of his surgery was confirmed by Nantes, who will now have to cope without one of their key players for the remainder of the campaign.
As Simon focuses on his recovery, fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a speedy return to the pitch for the talented winger. His determination and resilience will undoubtedly be key factors in his journey back to full fitness.
