Mikel ruled out for 4 weeks
Mikel did not feature in Nigeria matches against Algeria and Argentina due to the injury.
The defensive midfielder has played four times by Nigeria at senior level and the injury has slowed down his strong start to life in Turkey with his current team, with two goals to his name from 11 appearances in the league.
His career has also suffered setbacks due to niggling injuries with the ligament damage he suffered in 2014 denying him a chance to stake a claim in the first team of FC Porto.
Fitness issues also accounted for his poor showing in Belgium with Club Brugge, but last season, he was ever present for Portuguese side, Vitoria Setubal and earned a contract extension with Porto.
