SUPER Eagles captain,
John Obi Mikel has assured Chelsea fans the club is in safe hands under the
ownership of Roman Abramovich.
The former Chelsea
midfielder is preparing to face England with Nigeria in a World Cup warm-up
match at Wembley on Saturday.
Mikel has still been
taking notice of what has been going on at his old club this week after
Thursday's announcement to shelve redevelopment plans for Stamford Bridge.
He said: "This
club always bounces back, we always bounce back. I am sure Roman (Abramovich)
knows exactly what to do. Roman and Marina (Granovskaia), I am sure they know
exactly what they are doing.
"I don't think
the fans should be concerned at all about what is going on. I think it will
sort itself out. The club is in very safe hands, the fans should not worry at
all."
Mikel, who now plays
for Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA, has fond memories of Wembley after
winning the FA Cup three times there with Chelsea.
The 31-year-old, who
will captain Nigeria against England, added: "It's so nice to come back to
Wembley. I have played at here many times in so many finals and have managed to
have great success here and win pretty much all of the finals I have played. So
let's hope tomorrow it can repeat itself."
Nigeria take on
England before meeting Czech Republic in their second World Cup warm-up match
in Austria.
Their opening game in
Russia is against Croatia in Group D on June 16.
