BREAKING: Ex-Chelsea top rated midfielder and Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi set for Chelsea return.
The Super Eagles star and Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi is expected to make a return to Stamford Bridge when Chelsea legends take on Bayern Munich legends in a charity game in September.
The Blues team will be drawn from the squad that won the UEFA Champions League in 2012.
The West London side defeated Bayern Munich 4-3 on penalties in the final, with Mikel playing a pivotal role.

The Chelsea team will be coached by Roberto Di Matteo and captained by John Terry.
Mikel announced his retirement from active football in September 2022.
