Simon called up in Nantes squad to face PSG in the French Super Cup.
Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports.
Moses Simon, a Super Eagles winger, has been named to Nantes’ 21-man squad for their match against Paris Saint-Germain in the French Super Cup.
Both teams will compete for the first trophy of the French football season on Sunday at Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium.
Simon injured his thigh during the preseason, but he is expected to play in the game after resuming practice.
Nantes defeated Nice 1-0 in the Coupe de France final last season, with Ludovic Blas scoring from the penalty spot two minutes after halftime.
PSG, on the other hand, reclaimed the Ligue 1 title from Lille.
PSG has won two of the last three meetings between the two clubs.
Following victories in 1999 and 2001, the Canaries will attempt to win the French Super Cup for the third time.
