INJURED Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has been flown to London for urgent surgery just as Vincent Enyeama has been ruled out of the season by a knee injury.
Last month, Mikel underwent a traditional Chinese acupuncture in a bid to be fit for a Chinese Super League clash against Chongqing Dangdai Lifan FC.
“Mikel has not played in the league for three consecutive weeks as he has returned to the UK to prepare for surgical treatment, which also means that he will miss the next three league games,” a report by sports.enorth.com.cn, stated on Thursday.
Meanwhile on Enyeama, Lille manager Franck Passi confirmed on the club’s website that he would soon undergo an arthroscopy of the knee that could keep him away until the end of the season.
The Nigerian international was missing from action for Lille as they defeated Guingamp 3-0 in a Ligue 1 fixture last weekend with Maignan fielding in for the veteran safe hands.
The news comes as a major blow to Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr, who has reportedly made move to reunite the Eagles keeper with his former team-mates in the national team set-up following Carl Ikeme’s absence to injury.
