Leicester City manager, Puel has confirmed that Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho sustained a broken hand on international duty but could still feature in the club’s away trip to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday. Speaking at a prematch conference, Puel said “almost all the players are fit. Just Iheanacho, who has a broken hand, and (Matty) James. We will see if Iheanacho can play with this injury.
“We will see tomorrow in the training session. He (Iheanacho) fell but it’s not a bad injury. We will see if this injury will prevent him from playing at Brighton or not. It’s not an important injury but it might be strange to play with.”
Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho is firmly focused on helping the club beat Brighton in Saturday’s English Premier League clash after returning from the international break with Nigeria.
Iheanacho was part of the Super Eagles side that beat Poland in a friendly game in Wroclaw last week Friday but missed Tuesday’s defeat against Serbia in London due to hand injury. He is however back with his club and will be assesed by the club’s medics ahead of the trip to Brighton.
“We keep progressing, fantastic week with the Super Eagles. Our fans were great as always, Happy to be back with the lads all focus now on the weekends game,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.
