John Mikel Obi doubtful for Congo tie, will the Super Eagles miss him?

I hear Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has not fully recovered hence may not be fit enough to feature in the make or mar encounter against Congo and South Africa.

The player recently picked up a knee injury in a League Cup clash against Shrewsbury Town on October 28 and has failed to feature for the English club ever since.

Mikel was an unused substitute for Chelsea in premier league 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.

Quoting from Dailypost, the Spokesperson for the team, Ben Alaiya said “We know Mikel is just returning from an injury and was listed for Chelsea’s win at the weekend. But just to be sure our medical team will still have a look at him when he arrives,” 
''But we have no fear what so ever over his fitness for the double header.''

Mikel Obi is an important player for the Eagles no doubt, but with the new crop of home-based player gradually making their way into the squad and foreign based, will Nigeria really miss him?

Have your say.
