Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, will be out for a month after undergoing minor knee surgery.
Mikel has been absent for the Blues’ last four matches with the complaint and his manager, Jose Mourinho, has now confirmed that the Nigerian international won’t be available until April.
“Mikel had a little surgery on his meniscus,” he said.
“We are expecting him to be out for about a month – one week is already gone. There is not too much optimism or pessimism.

“I would say (he will return) first week of April.”
Mikel is now likely to miss the UEFA Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against PSG (March 11) as well as Barclays Premier League games against Southampton (March 15) and Hull City (March 22).
He could return against Stoke City at Stamford Bridge on April 4.
