Ex-Chelsea Star Mikel Gives Another Positive Update On Recovery But Time Is Running Out .....
Published: May 28, 2017Super Eagles skipper John Obi Mikel has given another positive update on his recovery after going under the knife a month ago in the United Kingdom.
Time is running out for the former Chelsea star to be in tiptop condition before Nigeria's African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa on June 10, with manager Gernot Rohr expected to announce his roster before the end of this week.
It is thought that Mikel will only return to the pitch in mid-June when Tianjin Teda face Beijing Guoan, a week after the Super Eagles first competitive game of 2017 in Uyo.
Mikel posted on Instagram and included a video clip of him working out in the gym : ''No days off 💪🏾 #recovery #TEDA #SuperEagles.''
The 'real deal' might not figure for the Super Eagles until the World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in August, but Rohr can count on the services of Porto midfielder Mikel, who impressed in the practice game against Corsica.
