Musa was a 76th-minute substitute for Sivasspor in a final group game at Slavia Praha of Czech Republic Thursday night.

This was his first game since he fractured his arm in a Super Lig game at Ankaragucu on September 18 and needed surgery thereafter.

The injury kept him out of friendlies against Algeria in September as a result. But he could now return against Portugal on November 17 in Lisbon to extend his all-time record number of caps for Nigeria.

The 30-year-old forward has so far won 106 caps at full international level since his Super Eagles debut against Madagascar in September 2010.
