Agent keeping his fingers crossed over availability of ex-Chelsea star Mikel

John Obi Mikel’s intermediary John Shittu is not a hundred percent sure regarding the availability of his client for Sunday’s Chinese Super League clash between Tianjin Teda and Guangzhou Evergrande at TEDA Football Stadium.

Two months before the crucial African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, the Super Eagles skipper missed the goalless draw against Guizhou Zhicheng last weekend after failing to recover from injury.

”We will see what happens this weekend, I am not the coach and won’t know if Mikel will be selected,” John Shittu told allnigeriasoccer.com.

If Mikel fully recovers from the muscle injury, which means the central midfielder or defender will face Guangzhou Evergrande, who are coached by ex-Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.

The Tianjin Teda skipper played the first three games of the new season prior to his spell on the sidelines.
