Super Eagles skipper John Obi Mikel will resume training at Chelsea next week.<br /><br />It has been claimed by Blues boss Antonio Conte that the holding midfielder has not featured for the London club in recent matches due to a muscular complaint. <br /><br />But the 29-year-old is making good progress in his bid to return to full fitness, and is set to join the first-teamers at Cobham in the new week, according to the Italian manager. <br /><br />This season, Mikel has not made a single appearance for Chelsea, and to make matters worse, he has not been named in an 18-man squad for competitive games, fueling speculation that he is set to call time on his career with the Stamford Bridge outfit.<br /><br />He has been on the books of Chelsea for more than ten years, and will become a free agent in June 2017 if he does not sign a new deal or move onto pastures new in January. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br />
