Nantes winger, Moses Simon will undergo surgery for a fractured left leg ankle injury on Friday.

The 28-year-old collided with Mali goalkeeper Mamadou Samassa in the first half of the encounter played at the Grande Stade de Marrakech.

Nantes confirmed on Wednesday the pacy winger will not play again this season.
