Simon’s injury worries Nantes boss

Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré has expressed concerns over the fitness of Super Eagles forward Moses Simon ahead of the 2024/25 season after the Nigerian suffered an ankle injury in the club’s friendly game against Laval, According Sports Extra reports.

Simon scored the winning goal from the spot in the 60th minute as the Canaries secured a 2-1 win ahead of their next game against Lorient on Wednesday.

Though the Nigerian was in action for 90 minutes, the Nantes Tribune, quoting Kombouaré, confirmed that the 29-year-old suffered an ankle injury during the game.

The injury is the second the Eagles star has suffered this year, thus raising concerns over his fitness.

“The two little worries are Simon (Moses) with his ankle still giving me problems and then little Adel (Mahamoud), who hurt his knee. I hope it’s not too serious,” he said, as quoted by the Nantes Tribune.

Towards the end of the 2023/24 season, Simon sustained a fractured fibula and was ruled out for three months, effectively ending his campaign.

The injury forced him to miss Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic, with the Eagles drawing against the Bafana Bafana and surprisingly losing to the Cheetahs.

His absence was deeply felt in these crucial matches, and the Super Eagles now risk being without him again for the reverse tie against Benin Republic.
