The cold hand of death has snatched Ahmed Musa's sister, the official website of CSKA Moscow reported on Friday.

As a result, the Super Eagle has flown to Nigeria and will miss the match against Volga, which corresponds to the 23rd round of matches in the Russian Premier League.

''Management and staff of PFC CSKA Moscow, the players and coaches are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of the sister of our striker Ahmed Musa.

''Together with Ahmed, we experience this great loss and offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends,'' CSKA Moscow stated on the official website.

Only last week, March 30, Ahmed Musa's wife, Jamila delivered a bouncing baby boy.  Musa is the club's leading scorer in the championship with 9 goals.
