Ahmed Musa Starts In Big Game Against Zenit St Petersburg

Published: September 12, 2015

Despite not training with his club all through this week, Ahmed Musa has been included in CSKA Moscow’s starting XI for the big clash at home to Zenit St Petersburg on Saturday afternoon.

The Nigeria international only arrived Russia on Friday after representing the Super Eagles in two matches during the international break, and there were fears that he would be named on the bench.

Musa has started and lasted the distance in all the matches contested by the Muscovites in the Russian Premier League in the 2015 - 16 season, 7 in total.

The 22 - year - old has not scored against Zenit St Petersburg since March 3, 2012, the same date he made his Premier League debut for The Army Men.
