Mikel out, Enyeama and Drogba included in Essien’s African Team of the Decade

Former Chelsea and ex-Ghana international Michael Essien has revealed his African Team of the Decade, with ex-Blues teammate Mikel John Obi a notable absentee.

The midfielder, who shone in West London between 2005 and 2014, was one of the club’s stalwarts before injuries slowed him down since 2010.

Be that as it may, Essien unsurprisingly named himself in the team.

Expectedly, he also named former Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba in the side having played with the former striker who netted over 150 goals for the club.

Drogba was instrumental as Carlo Ancelotti's men claimed their third Premier League title as well as the FA Cup, with the forward ending as top scorer with 29 goals.
