Mikel Obi Confirms He Will Play In AFCON 2019 by fabinfos(op): 8:52pm On May 13, 2019
John Obi Mikel has confirmed his return to the Super Eagles squad ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of nations (AFCON) in Egypt.

The captain whose return to the squad was in doubt, told AOIFootball that he had a private meeting with the Franco-German and has decided to feature at the continent’s biggest soccer fiesta when it kicks off in Egypt next month. He said;

“I met with Coach Rohr and we discussed his plans for the team in the forthcoming tournament. All I can say is that I am delighted and happy because I am coming to the Nations Cup.”

Good one from Mikel.

This is your time to add the African Trophy to your glittering shelf of trophies.

He has won it once already
That's true.
Along with Kenneth Omeruo (when the latter pocketed the great Didier Drogba!)
Thanks man!

Dude, this is Nations Cup. You need at least 4 to 5 players with solid experience to make any headway in that tournament. You can't just fill the team with all these small boys.
