Iheanacho In Race To Be Fit For Manchester United Clash

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.
