Current Europa Cup champions Chelsea FC have said Nigeria winger Victor Moses is expected to be fully fit again by July 6.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi told MTNFootball.com the English Premier League club have informed his team official they expect Moses to be back playing again by July 6.

Chelsea say Moses has been battling injuries towards the tail end of the season and as such he is unavailable for a series of matches involving Nigeria.

The 22-year-old Moses passed a late fitness test to be in the Chelsea squad for the all important clash with Aston Villa earlier this month. Moses picked up a knock in a 2-2 draw at home against Tottenham Hotspur.

“Chelsea have informed us that Moses cannot play again till July 6, but he will be with them in the US,” Keshi disclosed.

However, it is not clear the nature of the winger’s injury. The injury-hit Moses has already pulled out of the Nigeria squad for a series of matches beginning with a friendly against Mexico on May 31 in the United States of America.
