Though the Nigerian was in action for 90 minutes, the Nantes Tribune, quoting Kombouaré, confirmed that the 29-year-old suffered an ankle injury during the game.
The injury is the second the Eagles star has suffered this year, thus raising concerns over his fitness.
“The two little worries are Simon (Moses) with his ankle still giving me problems and then little Adel (Mahamoud), who hurt his knee. I hope it’s not too serious,” he said, as quoted by the Nantes Tribune.
Towards the end of the 2023/24 season, Simon sustained a fractured fibula and was ruled out for three months, effectively ending his campaign.
The injury forced him to miss Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic, with the Eagles drawing against the Bafana Bafana and surprisingly losing to the Cheetahs.
