MOSES SIMON LIKELY OUT FOR REST OF SEASON IN BLOW TO NANTES’ SURVIVAL BID

Image

Antoine Kombouaré will be without one of his key attacking threats for the rest of the season after Moses Simon (28) was injured in Nigeria’s friendly against Mali.

Ouest France reports that the FC Nantes winger will be ruled out for the rest of the season after a bad collision with Mali goalkeeper Mamadou Samassa (34) left the attacker unable to continue past the 34th minute in Nigeria’s 2-0 loss.

The pictures of Simon being carried off on a stretcher were not promising, and the early fears were confirmed after he was transported to a local hospital where the initial diagnosis pointed towards a fractured fibula. A second assessment will be scheduled, but it appears as if the season is over for Simon.

Simon blow an unfortunate start for Kombouaré’s return to Nantes

This leaves returning manager Kombouaré in an awkward position ahead of his first game back in charge of La Maison Jaune against OGC Nice on Sunday with the club currently occupying the relegation playoff spot.

He had been appointed ahead of the international break with the task of rescuing Nantes from a looming relegation battle. Simon would have been a vital part of his plans. The forward has been one of the club’s most threatening options in attack having scored three and assisted five in the league.

Sad for the lad. And a big blow to us.

the season ends in may, I do not know why you are laughing . He is out for the rest of the season and this injury takes 6 weeks to heal, then he needs time to get back to match fitness and rehab which could last another month

wow.
That’s an odd injury in the circumstances, but he must have twisted his ankle somehow. Almost definitely not from direct impact.

For those who question players’ patriotism, these are the risks inherent in friendly games

Wishing him a speedy and successful recovery!
IN OUR CASE, THERE IS NO TIME. NO SERIOUS COACH WILL TAKE THIS JOB

Pasamu on Monday Feb 22nd 2010 post ANC- I will repeat again, the problem with our team was never ability or personnel or even tactics . It was confidence pure and simple confidence. Amodus team had been spat upon, anything they did was dismissed as insignificant To see the team going from playing brilliant football against Egypt in the first half of their ANC group game to the cautious fear laden play against Zambia was sad.
