John Mikel Obi has not played a single minute of football this
season for Chelsea, with Chelsea coach Antonio Conte preferring the
likes of Kante, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, Loftus Cheek and Oscar to
Mikel Obi.
Nigeria's chief technical
adviser Gernot Rohr has blasted Chelsea coach, saying he is
punishing the Nigerian captain for missing out on pre-season preparations
with Chelsea as he helped Nigeria's U-23 team win the Rio 2016 Olympics
football Bronze medal.
"I can
never punish a player because he played for his country, and I am not
happy with what is happening to Mikel at his club because he is my
captain.' Rohr told journalists at a press conference in Uyo.
”The
only thing that has not made Mikel to play for Chelsea this season is
because he went with the U23 team that won bronze at the 2016 Olympics
games, and that is why he is being punished” the Super Eagles coach
said.
''He has not featured under the new
coach, Conte, since then. But I will still build the team playing
against Algeria around him because he is in a good shape and fit for
the match.
“Besides, Mikel is committed to the national team and he is a source of motivation to the other players.”
