Nigerian back in business...
04-Nov-2009 2:10:15 PM
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has declared himself fit for the blockbuster clash against Manchester United on Sunday.
The Nigeria international has missed the last three games through an ankle injury, but insists that he intends to play a part in the west London club's fortunes this weekend.
The 22-year-old also has one eye on international duty, having been called up to represent the Super Eagles in their must-win World Cup qualifier against Kenya.
"I will hopefully start playing again this weekend," Mikel is quoted in The Sun as saying.
"I'm also looking forward to helping Nigeria.
"It is very important for us to win. We all have to work hard and simply pray that the result favours us."
