Super Eagles skipper Mikel Obi has said that, tough times awaits indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Uyo ahead of the World Cup qualifier on Friday.
The former Chelsea midfielder is delighted to return to the team after he last played for the country in November and was outstanding when Nigeria defeated Algeria 3-1 in Uyo.
But he has since then quit the Premier League after 10 illustrious years for the cash in China.
However, an abdominal problem which needed surgery in London meant he has not featured for the country this year.
“It’s good to be back with the team, great to be part of the team again.
" lt's going to be a very tough encounter when we square up with lndomitable Lions on Friday, our commitments, discipline and focus will be key in dumping off the current African Champion." Mikel said after Eagles arrival in Uyo.
In his absence, Ogenyi Onazi stood in as captain and Leicester City ace Wilfred Ndidi started for the Eagles.
Eagles coach Gernot Rohr admitted the team missed the experienced midfielder when they were shocked 2-0 by visiting South Africa in an AFCON 2019 qualifier in June.
