Nigerian striker Terem Moffi finally made his comeback to competitive football after 225 days on the sidelines, featuring in OGC Nice’s 2-1 Ligue 1 defeat to Monaco on Saturday night.
The Super Eagles forward, who had been out since August 17, 2024, due to a hamstring injury suffered in preseason, stepped onto the pitch in the 82nd minute, replacing Baptiste Santamaria. His return offers a significant boost for Nice, who have sorely missed his attacking prowess this season.
Moffi’s Road to Recovery
The 25-year-old resumed light training in February, gradually building up fitness before rejoining the squad earlier this month. His absence had been a major setback for both club and country, with Nice struggling for consistency in attack and Nigeria missing his firepower in international fixtures.
Now back in action, Moffi’s return could be a game-changer for both sides.

For Nice, his reintegration could add the much-needed firepower as they aim for a strong finish in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, for Nigeria, having Moffi available again strengthens the Super Eagles attacking options ahead of crucial international assignments.
With his goal-scoring instincts, all eyes will be on how quickly Moffi can regain his sharpness and rediscover the form that made him one of Ligue 1’s most feared strikers. His return could prove pivotal in the weeks ahead.
