Nigeria captain, John Obi Mikel would miss the remainder of the country’s campaign at the on-going 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.


Mikel strained his knee in the Super Eagles’ 2-0 loss to Madagascar and was replaced by Alex Iwobi in the 59th minute. After several checks by the medical staff, it has confirmed that he will be out of their Round of 16 clash, and the 32-year-old could miss the rest of the championship.


While coach, Gernot Rohr remained vague as to the extent of the injury, it was understood that the problem is not a severe one, but the German will not risk exacerbating the injury.Therefore, the new Trabzonspor signing may not feature again in Egypt.


This setback will come as a blow to the former Chelsea man, who earlier revealed Egypt 2019 could be his last AFCON.

Good riddance

Hit "LIKE" If you think this will have no effect. Hit "SHARE" If you think this will have a negative effect.

Sorry

Mikel has past his time in football. I wish him all the best in life after this Afcon.

He was praised at some point till mourinho came n destroyed the young man's future by converting him to blocking four.

God bless you our very own John obi Mikel

We no go miss am

Thank God o

Good for us

.

Which kain Injury? That injury excuse was just a decoy to pull out of the tournament to go complete his move to Trabzonspor in Turkey, Read somewhere he is earning a lot from that deal, Couple with the fact that he has realized he isn't so relevant in the super Eagle team.

Dude wasn't stretched out in the last match so how was it possible he got injured overnight or in those their light training, let's call a shovel a shovel.

It was wrong for Rorh to have invited this dude

Anyway, Obinna can now rejoin his twins and Oyigbo waf abroad..


Baaaaaaayiiii bye

Yup,he's about to be a full time househusband

This is a sign that we will win. Mikel is minus one. Praise the loooord

Good riddance to bad rubbish

I wish you quick recovery.

He hasn't been playing well sef...but get well soon Mikel obi

Amen ooh

The injury na blessing in disguise... He's outta sorts!

I wish you quick recovery.

His absence would not be felt

Thank GOD....make this old bone no kukuma rise aqain abeq..

The snail ...... This guy was never an outstanding player...he was just lucky he won lotta trophies

Not again

See how nairalanders are 'nailing' one of our best and brightest football stars ever.

The same Mikel who played a pivotal role in 2013 AFCON Win, made Nigeria proud on the world stage and is arguably Nigeria's most decorated footballer?

The dude is undoubtedly in the twilight of his career and is understandable that his performance must be declining both in club and in the national teams, just like the case was with his senior brothers Okocha, Kanu, Yobo etc.

We need to appreciate our national heroes and Mikel happens to be one of them.

Though, I agree that Mikel has no business playing in this tournament (he should just be there for moral support), Nigerians should stop pouring their frustrations on Mikel. He is not the cause of your sifia pains.

Mikel's experience can be put to use without playing for the team. John Ogu is a worthy replacement, but it will be nice if Mikel is around to give him some tips and advice.

Rohr should bench Balogun today.

MINUS ONE
