The former Super Eagles captain was among the traveling squad of Trabzonspor to Prague. Fellow international, Anthony Nwakaeme, was also included in the 20-man squad.

Mikel joined Trabzonspor during the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
He signed a two-year contract with an option of a one-year extension.
He joined as a free agent after seeing off his contract with English Championship side Middlesbrough.
