Mike, one of the best defensive midfielders super eagles has produced. Not too worry he will only miss one match, against Cameroon, cos they will be back after it angry

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.
I commend your compatriot spirit, but call a spade a spade not a shovel.

Till Jay Jay Okocha retired, Nigerians would swear on his jersey that there was no greater midfeild Maestro, so good was he, that Nigeria called him out of retirement to play twice.

John Obi has never met the expectations of Nigerians till today, he has always played an average or below average game in the super eagles shirt. Because of This same Mikel, that people kept hoping would live up to expectations, Nigeria lost chances in picking up younger potential Attacking midfielders, building hope in a player that wasn't just the one.

Nigeria has produced awesome midfeilders but I can not put Mikel amongst the top 3 performance wise, (except for his trophies) ...

Please if people complain about him, they have every right to, he has always been average.

We sent a message to him to appease the gods but he ignored.

Well deserved!

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
I disagree. D guy is naturally lazy. Turning him to blocking 4 does not prevent him from moving forward n playing smart
Re: Injury: Mikel Obi Out Of AFCON 2019 by Charly68: 4:10pm On Jul 06, 2019

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.

Nigerians would never appreciate you when you are down, when he was playing well and won nation's cup the other time, no issues, now he's useless because he has injury. Change your mindset and always appreciate good things people has done when they are down.
