Nigeria international Ahmed Musa will start for CSKA Moscow in their Russian Premier League clash at home to Kuban on Saturday afternoon.

Manager Slutsky has kept faith with the attacker few days after he returned to the Muscovites after international duty with the Super Eagles.

Now 22 - year - old Ahmed Musa has started every single game contested by CSKA in the Russian Premier League this term, nine in total, prior to the encounter at the Arena Khimki.

The in - form striker was on target against Rostov (August 31) and Lokomotiv Moscow (September 21).

CSKA Moscow sit second in the standings with 21 points, four less than table toppers Zenith St Petersburg.
