Nigerian
legend Nwankwo Kanu had $11 000 stolen from his luggage in Russia as he arrived
for a World Cup curtain-raiser.
The former
Arsenal star was in Moscow to play for for the FIFA Legends against their
Russian counterparts, and reported the missing money upon arrival in
Kaliningrad, where the Super Eagles open their World Cup campaign against
Croatia on June 16.
Russian
Interior Ministry Irina Volk confirmed that two workers at the Sheremetyevo
Airport had been arrested, saying: "The stolen money has been confiscated
and will be returned to its owner."
The FIFA
Legends team won the match 6-4, with Niko Kranjcar, Nuno Gomes and Cafu each
scoring a brace.
