Chelsea's Obi Mikel upset with latest injury setback

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."
