CSKA Moscow attacker Ahmed Musa has expressed delight over his recovery from the injury he suffered towards the end of the season.

It was earlier thought the Nigeria international would not recover on time for the World Cup , but his rehabilitation went according to plan, and he is one of the 23 players that flew to Brazil from Miami on Tuesday morning.

“ I am very glad that I managed to recover from injuries and participated in the last game of the season with my club.

“CSKA Moscow won the Russian championship and I went to the national team of Nigeria in a great mood,” Musa said to bobsoccer.ru.

Drawn in an unpredictable group alongside Argentina, Bosnia and Iran, Musa fancies the Super Eagles chances of qualifying for the knock out rounds.

He told the Russian website : “We have a difficult group, but I have a positive attitude. I believe we will perform well. Will make every effort for this! 

“I can not wait for the tournament to finally begin. I feel that I went on a great holiday.”

21 - year - old Ahmed Musa recorded 7 goals in 26 appearances for CSKA Moscow this past season.
