JOHN OBI MIKEL has joked that Chelsea need to "bring back" some of the club's retired stars.<\/p>\n

The Blues have been struggling in the Premier League over the last year while also going through three managers.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Club co-owner Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter before handing the job to Frank Lampard on an interim basis for the run-in of last season.<\/p>\n

In the summer, Mauricio Pochettino was appointed manager and while there have been signs of improvement, the team has still struggled to perform.<\/p>\n

This is despite an enormous amount of investment into the playing staff at the club, with Chelsea forking out almost \u00a31billion on new players.<\/p>\n

The club's poor form has now seen Mikel, 36, have a joke at his former employer's expense.<\/p>\n

The retired midfielder was asked about the club's situation following a Chelsea legends match against Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

As per Hayters TV, he joked: "They need to bring us back, I'm joking.<\/p>\n

However, the former Chelsea star did then insist that the club would be fine as long as the players "gel together".<\/p>\n

The Nigerian added: "They are fine, they will be fine. I think the club is obviously going through a massive transition.<\/p>\n

"So we need to give them time. There are a lot of good, fantastic young players.<\/p>\n

"We need to give them time, we need to make sure they get time to work on the training ground and start to gel together as a team.<\/p>\n

"Once we could be able to that, I think we will be back competing again, but it is going to take us a bit of time."<\/p>\n

During the Legends match there was a shock inclusion for Sam Hutchinson despite him only making five appearances for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

John Terry also made an emotional tribute to Gianluca Vialli after he scored.<\/p>\n

Mikel joined\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0from Norwegian side Lyn in 2006 – going on to win two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, a League Cup, Champions League and Europa League with the Blues.<\/p>\n
