Mikel was on the flight with his national team mate Victor Moses. An excited Moses tweeted messages and photo from the flight indicating he was seated with Mikel on board. Moses was not part of the Nigerian team to the FIFA competition in Brazil.
Moses wrote via his Twitter handle, “Off to America with the team looking forward to it come on Chelsea.”
