Nigeria's leading scorer in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers
Victor Moses, Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo might be banned
for next month's game at home against Zambia.
Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, his former Chelsea
team-mate, Victor Moses, and comebacking striker, Odion
Ighalo, are at risk over a second booking in Yaounde, which
could cause them to be banned for next month’s qualifying
game at home against Zambia.
A second booking in the qualifiers will fetch a player a one-
match suspension. Ighalo was the latest player to be
booked in the qualifiers after he displayed a tribute to Jesus
on his inside shirt after he scored the all-important opening
goal against Cameroon yesterday.
Nigeria’s leading scorer in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers,
Victor Moses, who posted another Man-of-the-match
performance against Cameroon, as well as Mikel are also
walking a tight rope after they were cautioned in previous
qualifiers.
Moses was cautioned in the 3-1 win over Algeria in
November, while Mikel’s name got into the referee’s bad
books two minutes to the end of the 2-1 win against
Zambia in Ndola, also last year.
