Victor Moses has suffered bad luck with injuries in recent seasons which ruled him out of games for club and country.

Last weekend, the Chelsea number fifteen suffered a hamstring injury that could keep him on the sidelines for up to four weeks, if everything goes according to plan.

For the first time since the Nigeria national-teamer damaged his hamstring against Crystal Palace, he made a public statement on Wednesday, saying he is working hard to return to the training pitch soon.

Moses posted on social media : ''Gutted to pick up an injury. Working hard to get fit&back on the pitch as soon as I can! Good luck to the boys tonight come on the Chels #CFC''.

It is thought that the base case scenario is a return to action after the third international break of the season, meaning he is set to miss Nigeria's final Group B fixture versus Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers.

The 26-year-old went the distance against Atlético Madrid on match day two in the Champions League.
