Nigeria's Keshi praises Moses, Mikel despite Chelsea elimination
Nigeria coach praises the performance of Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel despite elimination from Chelsea squad in the Premier League

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi revealed that he is not worry about the performance of his national team duo Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel after they have been eliminated from Chelsea squad in the two opening league fixtures.
"I am not in control of what happens at Chelsea. Mourinho is the manager of Chelsea. That's what I have been trying to let Nigerians know," Keshi told Supersport on Thursday.
"There are no sentiments in issues like these. For top coaches [like Mourinho], it's about the team and never about the individuals," he added.
"If Mourinho feels that Mikel and Moses are not ready to play in the opening games, so be it," he concluded.
Nigerians Moses and Mikel, who were left out of Chelsea's two opening league fixtures against Hull City and Aston Villa, were called up to the Nigeria squad to face Malawi in a 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier in Calabar on 7 September, however.
"Failure to get regular playing time at Chelsea does not mean that I will not invite both players to play for Nigeria. The only reasons that will stop me from inviting these players is if they are either injured or not in good shape," Keshi concluded.
