Chelsea forward Victor Moses has apologised for coming very close to getting sent off in Wednesday's friendly against Cape Verde.
Moses escaped being sent off after he retaliated following a tackle on him by the Cape Verde captain. He was only booked.
"Moses has been sober after the game and he has apologised to the Cape Verde captain," stated the team psychologist Robinson Okosun.
"I will be having a separate session with Moses today (Thursday) because there is need for him to understand that in African football he must learn to control his temper. You know players come up with several antics and we saw one of that against Cape Verde. He was only lucky to be on the pitch because he could have been sent off."
The Eagles are scheduled to take on Dutch club FC Rotterdam on Saturday in their last warm-up game before they jet out to South Africa on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Austin Ejide will return to training by weekend after he quit Wednesday's warm-up versus Cape Verde due to a thigh strain.
"I have been told that in two days I can resume action on the pitch, because I'm feeling very free now," Ejide said on Wednesday evening after the routine medical tests.
The Israel-based goalkeeper pulled out of the game after half an hour but that was not before he made four big saves to deny the giant-killing West African islanders.
Ejide, officials informed MTNFootball.com, is now the country's No.1 choice ahead of long-term first choice Vincent Enyeama.
