The Nigeria international has been out of action for his Chinese Super League side owing to a bothersome injury.

John Obi Mikel is currently in England to undergo a surgery to repair the abdominal strain picked at his Chinese club Tianjin Teda.

The 30-year-old has missed three games for the Tianjin Tigers since suffering the strain in the team’s 2-0 win against Chongqing Lifan – where he got his first league goal.

According to reports, returning to England was required because the midfielder had undergone series of tests in China - including nuclear magnetic resonance, but the cause of injury which gives him discomfort could not be detected.

With this, Mikel is expected to be out for another three weeks to enable him recover well after the surgery.

Tianjin Teda are 10th on the Super League log with eight points from six games. Qinhuangdao Stadium on Saturday for their clash against Manuel Pellegrini's Hebei China Fortune F.C. who are sixth on the log.

April 27, 2017

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have suffered a big setback ahead of their first AFCON 2019 Qualifiers against South Africa scheduled to take place on the 10th of June in Uyo.

Captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria John Obi Mikel has officially pulled out of the squad for the game after suffering a setback in his recovery from what has been diagnosed as a serious muscle tear on his thigh.

Mikel resumed light training, but still travelled to the England to see a specialist ‎where it was revealed to him that he will undergo surgery which will rule him out of action for two months.

His Chinese side Tianjin Teda will in the coming days make an announcement on the injury, which will no doubt rock their season considering how well he has settled down in his new surroundings.

For Nigeria, he will most certainly miss the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers tie against South Africa. A move which will no doubt affect the plans of coach of the senior national team Gernot Rohr.

More likely a case of not maintaining optimum overall fitness at the high levels the body is used to in Europe due to the probable lower levels of physical and other demands.
