Jose Mourinho Will NOT Pick Mikel For Return Leg Clash With Atletico Madrid
Published: April 22, 2014
Because of accumulated yellow cards, Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel will miss the return leg of the Champions League semifinal clash with Atletico Madrid next Wednesday, April 30.
Referee Jonas Eriksson cautioned the Nigeria international in the 75th minute at the Estadio Vicente Calderón (Madrid).
And this automatically rules him out of the reverse fixture, having picked up bookings in previous games against Basel and Steaua Bucharest.
Chelsea are favored to qualify for the final match after they held Los Rojiblancos to a goalless draw in front of 52, 560 spectators.
Jose Mourinho will not be able to field another midfielder Frank Lampard, who is also suspended as a result of accumulated card offenses.
