Former Russian Midfielder Raises Alarm Over Injury Status of Nigerian Winger Victor Moses

• Victor Moses suffered an Achilles tendon injury during Spartak's 2-0 top-flight victory against Ural
• The former Nigerian international has been ruled out of action for six months due to the knock
• The entire Russian Premier League will miss the winger, according to ex-footballer Diniyar Bilyaletdinov

Former Russian midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has suggested that the country’s Premier League will miss the services of Nigeria’s Victor Moses.

Bilyaletdinov stated that the former Nigerian international, who has been ruled out of action for six months, has contributed immensely to the Russian top flight.

Moses picked up an Achilles tendon injury during Spartak's 2-0 top-flight victory against Ural on August 6.

He had started the season on a spectacular note, scoring two goals in two matches, helping Spartak secure a 1-1 draw against Akhmat Grozny at Akhmat-Arena.

And a week later, the former Chelsea star scored as they walloped Krasnodar 4-1 right inside the Krasnodar Stadium.

GOAL reports that Bilyaletdinov has now stated that Moses' injury is a huge loss for the entire league. He said, via Sport Express:

"Of course, Moses is missing. He stands out for his skill in our championship. You can't just make up for a loss like that.

"In the absence of European competition, not everyone wants to go to us. This is a loss not only for Spartak, but for the entire league."

Moses Simon ruled out for 2 weeks

Nigerian international Moses Simon has been ruled out of action for about two weeks after suffering a knock in a French Ligue 1 clash between Nantes and Toulouse.

Simon helped his side to a 3-1 comeback win by scoring a goal and also made an assist as Nantes claimed all three points.
