Leicester Loanee Musa Sends Message To Rohr With Brace For CSKA

Leicester City loanee Ahmed Musa has sent a message to Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr that he is back to his best after notching a brace in CSKA Moscow's 3-0 rout of Elche in a test game on Tuesday evening.

The Russian Premier League side took the lead midway through the first-half courtesy of the Super Eagles star, who fired into the top corner after receiving a pass from Alexander Golovin.

The Muscovites were able to double their advantage five minutes before the intermission through Vitinho.

And 2-0 became 3-0 in the 61st minute, Musa netted his second with Golovin and Mario Fernandez involved in the build-up to the goal.

The CSKA Moscow number seven took his tally to three goals from two matches, having found the net on his second debut against Danish opponents FC Nordsjaelland on Friday evening.

Based on his form and experience, Musa is expected to be named in the Super Eagles 23-man World Cup roster in what would be his second appearance in the mundial.

The 25-year-old is in line to make his competitive debut for CSKA against Red Star Belgrade in the Europe League next week Tuesday.
