Officials of the Super Eagles, will access John Mikel Obi, before he can take part in Nigeria’s must-win AFCON 2015 qualifiers against Congo and South Africa.
The Chelsea player recently picked up a knee injury in a League Cup clash against Shrewsbury Town on October 28 and has failed to feature for the English club ever since.
Although Mikel Obi was an unused substitute against Liverpool last Saturday, there are still question marks surrounding his fitness.
“We know Mikel is just returning from an injury and was listed for Chelsea’s win at the weekend. But just to be sure our medical team will still have a look at him when he arrives,” said team spokesman Ben Alaiya.
“But we have no fear what so ever over his fitness for the double header.”
Mikel is expected to join the Eagles training camp in Abuja Tuesday.
