Kelechi Iheanacho is back to training with his new club Leicester and is now tipped to start against title favourites Manchester United in the league’s Matchday 3 this weekend. Iheanacho was visibly missing from Leicester’s 2-0 victory over Brighton three days ago and is also expected to miss the League Cup clash with Sheffield United today but his manager has confirmed he is expected to make a showing this weekend.
“Kelechi has well trained this morning,” Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare told the club’s website. I think it would be too soon to throw him in (on Tuesday against Sheffield United), although I think he would be capable of it. In the squad [to face Manchester United], there’s a possibility, yes.”
Iheanacho is also expected to be named in the Nigeria squad, to face Cameroon in back-to-back Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers in September.
