Only a few weeks stands between Super Eagles skipper, Mikel Obi, and his long-anticipated return from injury according to the latest video released by the player on Monday.

Mikel, 30, has struggled with various degrees of injuries since moving from Chelsea to Chinese side, Tianjin TEDA, featuring just thrice for his new team.

The charismatic midfielder also missed his country’s 2-0 defeat to South Africa in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier two weeks ago.

However, it appears TEDA and Nigeria fans, will sooner than later have their beloved captain back in action.

In an Instagram post, Mikel hinted that he is almost fully recovered and will return to the beautiful game in a couple of weeks.

The video suggests that the footballer wasn’t mincing words when he said he is recovering.

Few more weeks and I’m back on the pitch with my boys #TianjinTeda #SuperEagles #recovery ⚽️
