The team travelled out from
London on Monday, heading to
Vienna, Austria without Mikel from
the proposed list.
This confirms Nigerian fans’ worst
fears, as rumours had been going
around after the midfielders’ awful
display at the FIFA World Cup.
On the FIFA website, the listed
players are new signings Cesc
Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe
Luis then old heads Petr Cech,
Matej Delac, Mitchell Beeney, Mark
Schwarzer, Branislav Ivanovic,
Oriol Romeu, Kurt Zouma, Andreas
Christensen, John Terry, Gary
Cahill, Nathan Ake, Cesar
Azpilicueta, Marco van Ginkel,
Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel
Chalobah, Mohamed Salah,
Jeremie Boga, Lewis Baker, John
Swift, Patrick Bamford, Fernando
Torres, Dominic Solanke and Isaiah
Brown.
Chelsea start their 2-week tour
against RZ Pellets tomorrow. Then
later face NK Olimpija Ljubljana in
Slovenia on Sunday, before Vitesse
Arnhem and Werder Bremen.
Mourinho is said to have made up
his mind about the Eagles number
10 future, due to the awful showing
last season and at the Mundial.
Mikel had been poised to finally
show his true potential in Brazil
after losing his spot in the Chelsea
team to winter signing Matic.
But the Chelsea man had a bad
showing losing possession a lot
and drawing criticism from the
Nigerian media and fans alike.
