Super
Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has a swollen knee that he may not recover
quickly from ahead the country’s Round of 16 clash at the Africa Cup of Nations
holding in Egypt.
Mikel sustained the injury
during Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Madagascar at the Alexandria Stadium.
Following the injury, Mikel missed training on Monday and is
expected to be out for a week.
Mikel’s presence may not be felt if he fails to make the
matchday squad, having failed to make an impact in the last two matches that he
has featured.
The 32-year-old who
failed to play the entire duration of both Burundi and Madagascar has just
completed a two-year deal with Turkish Super Lig outfit, Trabzonspor where he
would team up with Ogenyi Onazi and Anthony Nwakaeme.
