Everything Terem Moffi said after making Ligue 1 return 243 days after injury layoff

Soccer

Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi expressed gratitude to God after making his comeback at Nice following a 243-day injury layoff, Soccernet.ng reports.

Moffi played competitive football for the first time since July 2024 on Saturday in Nice’s 2-1 loss to Monaco at the Stade Louis II.

The Super Eagles striker suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during pre-season camp last year and had to undergo surgery, which kept him out of action until last Saturday.

Moffi was introduced into the game in the 82nd minute when Nice were desperate to score an equalizer. Unfortunately, he could not help his side as they succumbed to a loss.

But hours after the fixture, Moffi took to social media to thank God after the game.

“I can only say thank you Lord Jesus for everything. See you guys next week,” Moffi wrote.

Next up for Moffi and Nice is a fixture against Nantes at Allianz Riviera. Moffi will be looking to continue his comeback and possibly score a goal.

Soccer Moffi still has to wait a while

Despite playing against Monaco, Moffi may still have to wait a while before he begins starting games at Nice.

The Super Eagles star is very prolific, but Les Aiglons would be careful with how they use him in order to prevent a relapse.

Moffi may have to wait until next season before he becomes a starter for Nice. The club have done well this season, and they don’t need him badly this season.
