Nigeria international forward Moses Simon is expected to be in action later today when Nantes take on 4th division French side JA Drancy in the French Cup later today , OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Simon was expected to be given a rest by coach Antoine Kombouaré but the coach who is underfire following an underwhelming season so far is open to using his best players tonight, which includes the Nigeria international.
The coach is looking to bolster the confidence of the team with the game, and he sees Simon who has a goal and assist in their last two games as key to their dreams of using the game to boost their confidence with a huge win.
Kombouaré as a matter of fact believes the 29 year old Nigerian carries a fear factor, which naturally gives his team an edge, and that is why he always have him in his starting lineup for games.
This season he has four goals and five assists in 14 league games. A remarkable tally for a team that is struggling in the lower rung of the table, and battling not to be drawn into another relegation fight.
