Victor Moses is expected to resume pre-season training with Chelsea on July 17, according to reports.

The 26-year-old was omitted from the Super Eagles roster ahead of their African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, and the official word from the Nigerian Federation was that he was due to undergo surgery this summer.

''Balogun himself is recovering well, while Victor Moses is on vacation and he will resume training with Chelsea on July 17,'' a Nigerian Federation insider told scorenigeria.com.ng.

Last season, the right wing-back helped Chelsea secure the Premier League title, recording 34 appearances in the top-flight.

Moses has not played for the Nigerian national team in 2017.
