Chelsea No2 Wilkins: Obi Mikel treated in-house

Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi is back in the squad for tonight's game despite a drink-driving charge on Saturday.

He was arrested at 5.30am near Chelsea's ground and will appear in court on April 3.

Obi was suspended for their FA Cup win over Ipswich last Saturday, and Blues coach Ray Wilkins said: "John recognises the fact he's acted irresponsibly and we'll deal with that in house.

"That will be the last I say on that matter. He will come back into the squad."
