Chelsea's Obi Mikel upset with latest injury setback

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 09/30/2009 - 10:51

John Obi Mikel is out of Nigeria's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

The Chelsea midfielder was forced to miss the second half of the weekend's 3-1 loss at Wigan with an ankle injury.

Mikel confirmed on Tuesday that he will be out of action for three-weeks, ruling him out of the 11 October clash with Mozambique in Abuja.

"It's very bad and I am going to be out for three weeks," Mikel said.

"Sadly it's not something to just shake off as it hurts terribly; indeed it's a very sad situation."
