Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel will not play in today's Nelson
Mandela Challenge between Nigeria and South Africa due to an
infection.
The 26-year-old was expected to lead the African ...
champions against
their hosts at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, the site where he
masterminded a 4-1 demolition of Mali in the Africa Cup of Nations
last February.
Coach Stephen Keshi was quoted by KickOff: "Mikel has been withdrawn
from the squad. He has a stomach bug."
He joins the duo of Emmanuel Emenike and Kenneth Omeruo who had
earlier withdrawn from the game.
It will be a big blow to the Super Eagles as they hoped to use this
game to perfect tactics ahead of their final 2014 FIFA World Cup,
Group F qualifying game against Malawi next month.
