    midfielder was aware that his father had been kidnapped in his native
    Nigeria, but agreed to take part in a goalless draw with Stoke.

    Michael Obi, who runs an interstate transport company in Jos, went missing on Friday.

    Various efforts to make contact with him came to nothing, with his mobile phone becoming unreachable on Saturday.

    Mikel's representatives, Sport Entertainment and Media Group, made
    him aware of the situation, allowing him to make a decision on his
    involvement at the Britannia Stadium.

    Mikel's personal advisor John Ola Shittu praised his client for the character he showed in turning out against the Potters.

    "He is totally devastated. We were not sure whether to tell him before the game," he told KickOffNigeria.com.

    "But after speaking to the manager (Andre Villas-Boas) and Mike

    be informed of

    such a serious incident.

    "He was under a lot of stress but he showed a lot of character and mental strength to play against Stoke."
