Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has said that he may no longer play for Nigeria's national team in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). The former Chelsea midfielder made the disclosure while speaking to newsmen ahead of the tournament beginning this June.
Mikel who made Gernot Rohr's final 23-man squad for the tournament to be his fourth AFCON since his first appearance in the national team in 2005, said he may have to give way for younger players, hence his consideration to make 2019 his last outing.
Optimistic for a win, he said that the same spirit is what he hopes to imbibe in the mind of each member of the team, some of whom will be having their very first outing for the Super Eagles.
