Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel is optimistic the national team will reach the finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Nigeria are already four points clear of second-placed Cameroon and five ahead of Zambia and Algeria in group B of the qualifiers and the former Chelsea man believes they are in a good position.
“We are in a very good position in our group,” the 30-year-old Tianjin Teda midfielder told FIFA.com.
“We have two wins from two games, and in our last game we beat Algeria at home. We have a very good young team and the players play good football.
“If we can win our next match (at home to Cameroon on 31 August) it will edge us closer to qualification. I think we can go through.”
