Mikel and Ogude Are Suspended Frow The Ivory Coast Match

More worries for Stephen Keshi, as it has been confirmed that the duo of John Obi Mikel and Fegor Ogude would miss Nigeria's quarter-finals clash against Ivory Coast on Sunday. Both Mikel and Ogude, bagged two yellow cards each in the group stages of the 2013 African Nations Cup, which automatically translates to a one match ban. Mikel on his part did not know that he would miss the clash with Ivory Coast, even boasting of the Super Eagles chances after the 2-0 defeat of Ethiopia. “Playing against Ivory Coast is going to be both tough and exciting and some of our opponents are my friends, especially Didier Drogba,” Mikel was quoted to have said after the game on Tuesday. But upon realizing his fate come Sunday, Mikel told KickOffNigeria.com how sad he is, over his unavailability. “I found out last night and I am so so upset about it,” Mikel said. “I was really looking forward to helping the team get past this game” the 25-year old added. Despite his absence,Mikel believes that the players who would replace him, will do the required job to get Nigeria to semi-finals. “I'm very disappointed to miss the game. But I am confident that the lads can do the job without us. “We have a good team here and the new players are working very hard. I have tried to take some responsibility and speak to them, motivate them and give them advice. “I am sure they will do the country proud.” Players like Sunday Mba,Nosa Igiebor, Obiora Nwankwo Reuben Gabriel are all expected to fight for a place in starting eleven in the absence of both midfielders.
