Victor Moses is in my plans, insists Oliseh

The Super Eagles handler has hinted that the forward could be invited for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Pharaohs in March

Nigeria handler Sunday Oliseh insists Victor Moses is still in his plans despite the West Ham United forward not featuring for the country since he took charge in 2015.

The 25-year-old has scored seven times in 24 appearances for the Super Eagles since making his international debut in 2012.

And Oliseh said the former England youth international is in his plans and could be handed a call-up for the country’s crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt in March.

"Yes, Victor Moses is still in our plan. All the players who are eligible to play for us are still in our plans aside those who have retired from the national team," he told Completesportsnigeria.com.

"The truth is that I will put a 'but' to it at the moment. This team started with the game against Tanzania and is evolving.

"We have played 14 games since I took charge of the team and we lost our first official game against Guinea at the African Nations Championship. 

"We have like seven or eight players from the CHAN team that are good enough to play for the main Super Eagles. 

"It's good when you have a large pool of players to pick from, so everyone will have to fight for a place in the team,” he concluded.

Nigeria are second behind the Pharaohs in Group G’s qualifying zone with four points from two games, and they must defeat the north Africans in March to qualify automatically for the championship billed for Gabon.
