Mikel Back In Super Eagles Training After Knee Injury

Nigeria’s captain to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, John Mikel Obi has resumed training after missing out on the Eagles’ 3-2 win over Cameroon on Saturday.

The Super Eagles midfielder took part in light training during the team’s recovery session on Sunday morning, seven days after he limped out of Nigeria’s 2-0 defeat to Madagascar.

With Mikel Obi’s return from injury, Genort Rohr now has the full compliment of his 23-man squad after Jamilu Collins and Shehu Abdullahi were on the substitute bench for the win over Cameroon.

Nigeria will take on South Africa in the quarter final of the 2019 AFCON on Wednesday starting from 8pm Nig. Time.
