    Disagreement over Moses, Success Invitation ..Duo may miss Algeria tie

    Following the absence of Chelsea forward Victor Moses and Watford’s Isaac Success in Ndola against Zambia, Nigeria football Federation and Gernot Rohr are in contention on whether to invite the London based duo to play for the senior national team.
    An inside source in the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revealed that the move by the super Eagles technical adviser Gernot Rohr to invite the players ahead of next month FIFA World Cup qualifier against Algeria have been received with diverse minds.
    Moses and Success missed the team’s 2-1 win over the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Ndola a fortnight ago, sighting injuries as excuses for their inability to make the encounter.
    The NFF expressed their unhappiness with the player’s failure to join the Super Eagles and had planned to put them on suspension for subsequent games.
    Considering the recent brilliant performance of Moses and Success who has been having a decent game with Watford, Rohr has indicated plans to invite them for the match against Algeria in Uyo on November 12.
    The German tactician’s decision has been met with discontentment as the source disclosed that some key members of the football federation are still fuming over the invitation of Moses and Success to the senior national team.
    “We have not really not concluded on whether Victor Moses and Isaac Success should be invited for the November 12 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Algeria in considering the fact that the decision of the two  players to miss the encounter against Zambia was not truly justified ,” the source informed .
    “Although there are plans by the super Eagles technical adviser to extend invitation to them for the Algeria match, however a few of our members are yet to vet their invitation because they are indirectly selecting matches they want to play something which won’t be condoned.
    “It is time that we want our best players to feature against Algeria but then, a situation where players are not committed and hungry to play for their country I don’t think they merit to be listed,” he said .
