After leading the Dream Team VI bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, midfielder John Mikel Obi is set to make his first competitive appearance under Chelsea’s new coach, Antonio Conte.
Since returning, the midfielder has not been included in Chelsea team but is set for play in their Football League Cup fixture against Leicester City on Tuesday, September 19.
A lot of changes are expected in the Chelsea team which lost their Premier League fixture against Liverpool last week.
Chelsea travel to Arsenal in their next league fixture and Conte is expected to rest the likes of N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic.
That should be Mikel Obi’s 250th game for Chelsea since joining in the summer of 2006.
