Mikel resumes Chelsea duty Monday

NIGERIAN international John Obi Mikel barring any hitch will resume on Monday at Chelsea according to his manager and agent Olatunji John Shittu.
Shittu, claimed that the management of the English Premier League side gave Mikel and other players who played beyond the early rounds of the just-ended Brazil 2014, till Monday to report
for pre-season training.
The other players who are directed to resume on Monday are Thibaut Courtois of Belgium, Kenneth Omeruo, Eden Hazard of Belgium, Victor Moses, Ramires of Brazil, Andre Schurrle of Germany, Willian of Brazil, and Romelu Lukaku of Belgium.
When Chelsea began it pre-season training a few days ago without Mikel and other listed players, the media was awash with news that Mikel's future with the London side is uncertain, as arrangements had been concluded to ease him out by manager, Jose Mourinho.
But Shittu described the report as inaccurate,
“I don’t know where the story emanated from, but I can tell you authoritatively that it is false. Mikel and other Chelsea players who played beyond the first round of the World Cup will resume club duty on July 28.
"He came home briefly to see his family after the World Cup, he returned to London last week to collect visas for the countries where Chelsea will play pre-season, so the report is not true, he still a Chelsea player," he said.
Shittu also described as untrue reports that Chelsea wants to sell Mikel for £5million.
“Mikel has a subsisting contract with Chelsea and he intends to respect that contract, I also know that Chelsea is not planning to sell him; he is part of Jose Mourinho’s plan," Shittu maintained.
