Chelsea forward, Victor Moses, could make a return to the Super Eagles squad after a meeting with the team’s coach Sunday Oliseh.

Injury lay-off and perceived poor working relationship with erstwhile coach Stephen Keshi limited Moses’ involvement with the national team post 2014 World Cup but Oliseh has given a strong indication that he will give the winger another opportunity to play for Nigeria.

“Very constructive meeting with Chelsea & Super Eagles’ Victor Moses,” Oliseh wrote on Twitter on Monday night.

“The team building continues.”

Oliseh was at Wembley stadium to watch the Community Shield clash between Chelsea and Arsenal. Moses was a second-half substitute as the Blues lost 1-0 to their London rivals. John Obi Mikel, the other Super Eagles player at Stamford Bridge, was an unused substitute.

Oliseh is expected to name his first squad this month for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania in September.
