Five days after posting a picture of him flying to Cameroon for the World Cup qualifier against the Indomitable Lions, Chelsea star, Victor Moses, enjoyed a brief flight on Friday as his club took the unusual step of travelling to their away game at Leicester via aeroplane.
The Premier League champions posed for photos on board the chartered jet as the squad prepared for take-off.
Marcos Alonso joked around with reserve goalkeeper Willy Caballero out on the runway while the squad shared a joke at Moses’ expense.
Chelsea chose to fly to Leicester ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash – despite just 103 miles separating Stamford Bridge and the King Power Stadium.
A car journey from Chelsea to Leicester using the M1 motorway can take just two hours and 44 minutes when avoiding rush hour.
Flights are usually reserved for longer away trips, such as from London to Newcastle, but complications in travel arrangements mean teams occasionally fly shorter distances.
Moses was outstanding as the Super Eagles put four goals past their Cameroonian counterpart in Uyo last Friday, scoring one goal and assisting another.
He was equally impressive as Nigeria played a 1-1 draw with the reigning African champions in the return leg in Yaoundé on Monday.
