Lyn Oslo have cleared John Mikel Obi to star in Sunday's World Cup tie against Algeria.
An official told KICK OFF: 'We have received a guarantee from the NFA and as such Mikel will now join us immediately after the match in Algeria."
NFA spokesman Robinson Okosun confirmed that NFA have written a letter of guarantee saying that 'Mikel will head straight back to Norway from Algeria."
'We are delighted that Morgan Andersen has obliged us to have Mikel join the team in Portugal and return to Norway only after the match in Algeria. We stressed the importance of the game and that with the absence of skipper Austin Okocha, we will really need Mikel," Okosun revealed.
Lyn had threatened to stop the 18-year-old sensation from the clash after he failed to return to Norway this week even after a ruling by Fifa.
