The match winner for the senior national team, the Super Eagles in their 2-1 win over Madagascar Moses Usor is in a race against time to be fit for the Eagles’ upcoming AFCON 2027 qualifiers games against Tanzania.

The 24 year old Usor made an instant impression for Nigeria in his debut game, with a brilliant solo goal to seal a 2-1 win against Madagascar in their opening game of the series.

That magic he was not able to replicate against Guinea-Bissau where they were beaten 0-3, but he did enough to earn himself a spot in the team for the back to back games in November against Tanzania.

However a shoulder injury that saw him miss LASK 3-6 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League is threatening his inclusion in the game.

Sources say he does not require a surgery, but it also depends on how well he recovers in the coming days. A timeline that could fall around when Nigeria host Tanzania in Uyo next month.
