Chelsea Star Mikel Issues Final Battle Cry Ahead Of Algeria Clash

With the clock ticking before Nigeria face off against Algeria in a World Cup qualifier, Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel expects the Super Eagles to cement their position in the Group with a victory over the North African opponents.

And the Nigeria skipper has appealed to the Super Eagles faithful who will witness the game at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium not to relent in their support for the national team, come rain or shine.

“It’s a long road to #Russia2018 but today we can go one step closer. Get behind the team later, let’s all do Nigeria proud #SuperEagles 🇳🇬, ’’ Mikel posted on Twitter.

Mikel is part of a three-man midfield in today’s clash against Algeria, and he is supported by Trabzonspor’s Eddy Onazi and Nigeria U23 star Oghenekaro Etebo.
