Former Chelsea Midfielder Obi Mikel Replaced As Captain Of Tianjin Teda
Published: April 29, 2017
Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has been replaced as captain of Chinese Super League club Tianjin Teda for the time being, with the midfielder expected to spend at least three weeks on the sidelines due to injury.
Serbian international Nemanja Gudelj has been appointed the new captain of Tianjin Teda until the Nigerian fully recovers from an abdominal injury.
''People know that I was a captain in AZ Alkmaar and vice captain in Ajax, I have been accustomed to this responsibility.''
''I was in Breda, although still young, but I am also the captain of the team. Our current team captain is Mikel, but he is now injured, so I am the captain,'' Nemanja Gudelj told Netease Sports.
Mikel played three games on the bounce before picking up an injury and captained Tianjin Teda in two of those games.
