Victor Moses has already represented England Under-21s<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Wigan winger Victor Moses has been handed a late invitation by Nigeria for Sunday’s 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 20-year-old, who was born in the West African country, is heading for Abuja to be involved in his first game for the Super Eagles. <\/p>\n

Moses represented England at U-17, U-19 and U-21 levels. <\/p>\n

He therefore needs approval from Fifa before his international switch can be finalised. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We have called up Moses for this weekend’s match against Ethiopia after we made a couple of changes in the squad,” said Nigeria assistant coach Simon Kalika. <\/p>\n

“Moses was on our standby list and after we released two of our call-ups to the Olympic team who will also be in action this weekend, we decided to invite.” <\/p>\n

Moses’ agent, Tony Finnigan, disclosed that the Wigan ace will join the rest of the Nigeria squad along with West Ham striker Victor Obinna on Monday. <\/p>\n

The player was picked for last month’s friendly against Sierra Leone but stayed away. <\/p>\n

Nigeria coach Samson Siasia visited Moses in England in December and received assurances he was keen to play for Nigeria. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Victor Enyeama has been ruled out of the game because of an ankle injury.\n<\/p>\n
