| Mikel new Eagles skipper as Musa surrenders post |
Last year, Ahmed Musa was named Eagles skipper by former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh, who overlooked the seniority in the team which would have installed vice-captain Mikel as team captain following the retirement of Vincent Enyeama from international football.
Mikel will therefore lead Nigeria in today’s must-win AFCON qualifier against Egypt in Kaduna.
Chelsea midfielder Mikel debut for the Eagles in 2005, while CSKA Moscow winger Ahmed Musa made his Nigeria bow five years later.
