Mikel Obi has admitted that his Olympic adventure with Nigeria could ruin his first-team chances at Chelsea.
The midfielder is in this moment in Brazil with the Olympic Eagles ahead of the Rio 2016 Games.
There's a strong possibility that he could miss Chelsea’s first two matches of the season if Nigeria reach the gold medal match on August 20.
He could also tumble behind £30m new boy N’Golo Kante in Antonio Conte’s plans.
But he says playing for his country in Brazil was too big an opportunity to resist.
Obi is Chelsea’s second-longest current serving player, behind skipper John Terry.
He’s been at Stamford Bridge since a 2006 switch from Lyn.
