I DON'T SELECT GAMES TO PLAY FOR NIGERIA

Super Eagles and Chelsea FC 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 in Brazil .

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

But the Chelsea wing - back said he was disappointed by the insinuations that he does not always want to play for his country.

“ Yes , everyone says that I select games. I have heard it myself , ” he told Nigerian radio.

“ But it is what it is . I never run away from challenges . I love to play football, why would I run away from playing football? That is what we are meant to do , ” he said .

“ But people keep saying that I choose games for Nigeria … But I need to clear the air now , that is not true.

“ If I have got an injury , I have got an injury . Whenever I want to play for Nigeria , I must be 100 percent , I want to give everything . But if I have got an injury , I don ’ t want to force myself because I am going to look stupid on the pitch.”
