Leicester City and Nigeria forward Ahmed Musa will play some part in the World Cup Group D match against Croatia on Saturday, Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr said on Friday.
“Musa now is very fit… I don’t know if he will start the game but if he’s not starting the game he will finish the game and we count on his speed and on his motivation to be a very dangerous forward,” Rohr told journalists.
