Chelsea stop Mikel, Moses from Mexico match

Having experienced a gruelling football
season with Chelsea, Nigerian duo, Jon
Mikel Obi and Victor Moses have pleaded
with Coach Stephen Keshi to leave them
out of the exhibition match against
Mexico on May 31
An official of the
Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF)
revealed that
Mikel has asked to
be excused from
the tune-up match in order to rest and
take care of personal issues.
"Mikel has said he will prefer to be left
out of the friendly game against Mexico
later this month. He says he will want to
just take a rest after a long season with
Chelsea and also take care of personal
matters at the same time," said the
federation official on Tuesday.
However the 26-year-old midfielder is
said not to have made mention of being
excluded from the FIFA 2014 World Cup
qualifiers against Kenya and Namibia in
June.
"Nothing has been said about the World
Cup qualifiers. He has only asked to be
left out of the friendly against Mexico,"
the official stated.
Already, the trio of Victor Moses, Kalu
Uche and Gabriel Reuben have opted out
of the Nigeria squad ahead of the FFIFA
World Cup qualifiers and Confederations
Cup citing injury concerns.
