Mikel, Moses off to US

Mikel Obi has returned to Chelsea as part of the squad for the inaugural Guinness International Champions Cup in Miami.

The Nigeria international, who has been subject of transfer away from Chelsea this summer, returned to the Stamford Bridge team after he was given an extended holiday following his participation at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil in June.

Mikel was on the flight with his national team mate Victor Moses. An excited Moses tweeted messages and photo from the flight indicating he was seated with Mikel on board. Moses was not part of the Nigerian team to the FIFA competition in Brazil.

Moses wrote via his Twitter handle, “Off to America with the team looking forward to it come on Chelsea.”

Mikel will be looking forward to playing his first game under Jose Mourinho on the Portuguese, second time in charge of Cheslea. Moses was part of the Chelsea Asian tour.

Chelsea will play their first game at the competition in Indianapolis against Inter Milan on Thursday.
