Nigeria retirement may affect Victor Moses' Chelsea career, says Henry Nwosu

Former Nigeria captain and coach Henry Nwosu calls Victor Moses' retirement from international football as an unwise decision that could come back to haunt him at club level.

On Wednesday, the Chelsea player called time on his career with the Super Eagles in order to shift his focus to club and family commitments .

The 27-year-old has been reduced to a squad player since the arrival of new coach Maurizio Sarri.

The Italian has switched from Antonio Conte's 3-5-2 formation to his trusted 4-3-3, thus, rendering Moses' wing-back role irrelevant.

According to Nwosu, the winger's decision might further have a negative impact on his standing at the London outfit.
