Gent of Belgium Nigerian duo Moses Simon and William Troost-Ekong were absent as the team picked up a win in their pre season training with a win in their first test game.
The club which is home to five Nigerian players in Moses Simon, William Troost-Ekong, Rabiu Ibrahim, Anderson Esiti and Samuel Kalu, only had Kalu and Esiti available for the game against CFU Drogen which they won 3-2.
Simon and Troost-Ekong have been linked with a move to newly promoted English Premier League team Brighton, but their absence from what we gathered is not connected to their proposed move away from the club.
” We were given extended break due to our involvement with the national team of Nigeria, we will join our teammates in training next week”, Moses Simon exclusively told Owngoalnigeria.com in a chat at his residence in Kaduna.
