Ahmed Musa has resolved a rift with CSKA Moscow coach, Viktor Goncharenko and could be available for selection in today’s tie against Arsenal in the Europa League quarterfinal return leg match at the VEB Arena, Scorenigeria.com.ng reported.
The 25-year-old Leicester City loanee was involved in an altercation with his coach in the weekend’s domestic league trip to Dinamo Moscow.
Goncharenko revealed yesterday during his pre-match press conference ahead the Arsenal visit that all issues concerning the row had been laid to rest during a showdown talk with the player on Tuesday.
“Absolutely, the row will not affect his possible selection for the Arsenal match,” Goncharenko said.
“Football is, first of all, emotions. If they are removed, it will be a robot competition.
“We talked with Musa yesterday (Tuesday), there are no questions left. When choosing the starting lineup, emotions will not be affected.
“If he is ready to play tomorrow, he will come out. I will not remove him from my team because of my ambitions.”
He also ruled out sanctions for the Nigeria winger. “Then I should as well be fined, because the fight was mutual (smiling),” he said.
