Sunday Oliseh Happy To See Mikel Start For Chelsea
Published: September 12, 2015Coach Sunday Oliseh was delighted to see one of the most influential Super Eagles players, John Obi Mikel, named on the teamsheet for Chelsea in their Premier League clash against Everton.
The defensive midfielder made Chelsea’s starting XI in the Premier League for the first time since the last fixture of last season, in an academic game against Sunderland.
