Chelsea duo set for Russia 2018.

On Saturday, Nigeria became the first African side to qualify for the 2018 World Cup Finals, in Russia.

A win, achieved against a stubborn Zambia side, sees Nigeria with 13 points on top of Group B in an unassailable position.

The win means that the Chelsea duo of Victor Moses and Ola Aina, will both be given the chance to shine on the biggest stage of all.

Against Zambia, World Cup qualification was assured when the Arsenal striker Alex Iwobi scored.

Victor Moses and another name you may recall, John Obi Mikel, both missed chances to double the lead in what was an end-to-end encounter.

It remains to be seen just how many of the Chelsea squad will participate in the 2018 World Cup Finals, in Russia.
