Nigerian denies picking games

CHELSEA star Victor Moses has dismissed suggestions he picks and chooses the games he plays for Nigeria, insisting he always wants to be fit before appearing for his country.

Moses, 26, made his Nigeria debut in 2012 when he changed his international allegiance after representing England at various age-grade levels.

He has since won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations for Nigeria and featured at the 2014 World Cup.

Moses played a key role in the draw and victory in back-to-back matches over Cameroon this month which moved Nigeria closer to qualification for next year’s World Cup in Russia.

But he said he was disappointed by the insinuations that he did not always want to play for his country.

“I never run away from challenges. But if I have got an injury, I don’t want to force myself because I am going to look stupid on the pitch.”
