Standup9ja: Nigeria captain Mikel close to return
John Obi Mikel is close to making a full recovery from the
surgery he underwent in England last month.
The Super Eagles are hoping that their skipper will be fit
for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in June.
Mikel took to social media platform Instagram to post a
photo of himself in training at the gym at Chinese club Tianjin Teda.
“On the road to recovery 💪🏾
can’t wait to get back on the pitch with TEDA and my National Team #TianjinTeda
#SuperEagles ⚽️,” the player posted along with
the photo.
Mikel has missed the last seven matches played by Tianjin
but is expected to resume full training next week.
The surgery in England saw Mikel seek the help of former
club Chelsea in identifying the exact cause of his abdominal injury.
