John Obi Mikel has offered himself to Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Nigerian was back at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's Legends match.

And he joked afterwards: "They need to bring us back, I'm joking.

The Nigerian added: "They are fine, they will be fine. I think the club is obviously going through a massive transition.

"So we need to give them time. There are a lot of good, fantastic young players.

"We need to give them time, we need to make sure they get time to work on the training ground and start to gel together as a team.

"Once we could be able to that, I think we will be back competing again, but it is going to take us a bit of time."
