Moses Simon
PFC
Returns to training after illness
Simon (illness) returned to team training after missing Saturday's Ligue 1 clash against Lorient and received recognition from Paris FC's coaching staff and teammates for reaching 100 international appearances with Nigeria, the club posted.
Analysis: Simon has recovered from the illness that kept him out of Saturday's defeat against Lorient and is back working with his teammates ahead of the upcoming clash against Rennes. The winger was also honored by the club for reaching the milestone of 100 appearances with Nigeria, marking a significant achievement in his international career. Despite his return to fitness, Simon has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under coach Liam Rosenior, making just one start and three substitute appearances across Paris FC's opening five league matches. He should now be available for selection again, although he may continue operating primarily as an option off the bench.
Ruled out with illness
Simon has been ruled out for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash against Lorient after falling ill, according to Laurent Pruneta of Le Parisien.
Analysis: Simon will miss Saturday's trip to Lorient due to illness, although the nature of the issue and a potential timeline for his return have not been disclosed. The winger has struggled to secure regular playing time under new coach Liam Rosenior, starting just one of Paris FC's opening five Ligue 1 matches while making three additional appearances off the bench. Simon has yet to record a goal or assist across 132 minutes this season after contributing three goals and three assists in 29 league appearances during the 2025/26 campaign. His absence further limits Paris FC's attacking depth, although he had already been operating primarily in a reserve role.
Dropping into rotation role
Simon has started just one of Paris FC's first five Ligue 1 matches, making three other appearances off the bench to begin the 2026/27 season under new coach Liam Rosenior.
Analysis: Simon has played 132 minutes across four games, down sharply from the regular starting role he held last season. He has yet to record a goal or assist after contributing three of each in 29 league appearances in 2025/26.
Fit once again
Simon (hamstring) is an option after being left off the injury list, according to Laurent Pruneta of Le Parisien.
Analysis: Simon is back from his injury and will only miss a game due to his issues, set to make a return to end April. This is a massive return for the club, as he could almost immediately see the start, starting in six straight games before the injury. He does have three goals and three assists in 26 appearances (22 starts) this season, a solid contributor for the team.
