O'Neill hopes Mikel will return for Stoke City against Blackburn Rovers


 The former Nigeria international is yet to feature for the Potters in December due to an injury problem but has now returned to training

Stoke City manager Michael O’Neill is hoping John Obi Mikel will be available for selection when they take on Blackburn Rovers in Saturday’s Championship game.


The midfielder has been out injured since November 28 when he suffered a calf problem against Sheffield Wednesday.


The former Nigeria international has now missed Stoke’s last five games, against Wycombe Wanderers, Middlesbrough, Cardiff City, Derby County and Queens Park Rangers.
