Super Eagles of Nigeria winger, Moses Simon, was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, March 26.

This is according to Adepoju Tobi Samuel, a former media officer of the Future Eagles.

Samuel who was at the stadium when Simon was clumsily challenged by Mali players in a friendly, said the Nantes' man's injury "looks serious".

On Wednesday, March 27, Simon trended on X. He wrote with an accompanying video:

"Moses Simon injury looks serious, he’s in tears. Rushed to the hospital.

"Let's say a prayer for Simon. Get well soon Simon. You will come back stronger."

Meanwhile, Nantes released a statement on Wednesday, March 27, concerning Simon.

The French Ligue 1 club said their star forward has been ruled out for the rest of the season after fracturing his fibula during Nigeria's game against Mali.

The statement by Nantes partly reads:

“Moses Simon was injured yesterday (Tuesday, March 26) against Mali. Our Nigerian forward suffers from a broken fibula which means the end of the season.

“FC Nantes is already keen to provide its full support to its attacker and wishes him a speedy recovery!”
