No problems with Mikel, says Nigeria's coach Keshi
Nigeria's coach Stephan Keshi explains why he dropped John Obi Mikel from the squad which will play against Rwanda in Nations Cup qualifier
Mohamad Mosselhi Published in Ahram Online on 22 - 02 - 2012

Nigeriaboss Stephan Keshisaid on Wednesday he has no problems with Chelsea's Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel, revealingthe midfielder was left out of the upcomingNations Cup qualifier against Rwanda because he had just recovered from injury.
“This camp is a national team camp of love and not of hate, how a father like me can quarrel with a son like Mikel,” Keshi was quoted as saying by KikOff.
"The young man is full of talent and is a player who has several years left in him, but he was just coming back from an injury lay-off and we thought it wise to leave him to settle down before we call on him again to come and fight for his fatherland".
The 25-year-old midfielder returned to Chelsea's training after seven weeks on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury he sustained in December's 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
Nigeria, who missedthe recent edition of the Nations Cup,will meet Rwanda on Wednesday in their opening qualifier for next year's edition.
