John Mikel Obi of Chelsea to resume play on April

London - Nigeria international midfielder John Obi Mikel is now
expected to make a return to competitive football for Chelsea next
month, SuperSport reports.
According to Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, the Nigerian midfielder
could become available for selection in three weeks after recently
undergoing surgery due to a knee injury.
But the Chelsea boss' premise is hinged on a balance of "optimism
and pessimism" that the 27-year-old could return without a hitch.
“Mikel had a little surgery. I was expecting him to be out for about a
month and one week has already gone.
“So I would say, with not too much optimism or pessimism, Mikel to
play in the first week of April,” said Mourinho.
The midfielder has missed a number of matches for Chelsea including
the Capital One Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend
since his last appearance for the Blues in a league match at Aston
Villa on February 7.
