Nigeria's John Obi Mikel to join up with Super Eagles

Chelsea's Nigerian midfielder, John Obi Mikel will join up with the rest of his Nigeria team mates on Friday.

Mikel recently underwent surgery on his knee, raising doubts over his participation in this summer's World Cup.
The injury had kept him out of Chelsea's FA cup win against Portsmouth.
Mikel also missed Nigeria's friendly against Saudi Arabia but should now be available for the next two games according to team Media Officer Idah Peterside.
Peterside told KickOffNigeria.com that, Nigeria sent medical officials to the London club to assess his progress.
"He will join us on Friday. The doctor will officially release him to the team, fit, on that day," he said.
Goalkeepr Dele Ayenugba is the only other player yet to report to camp, following visa trouble. But Peterside says team officials are abreast with his situation and he is expected to meet up with the squad in Austria.
Nigeria are drawn in Group B, with Argentina, Greece and South Korea.
