Former Golden Eaglets forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, is back on his feet after Friday’s slight injury during Leicester City duel against Germany’s Borussia Monchengladbach.
The ex-Manchester City starlet picked up a knock in the Foxes 2-1 win over Mönchengladbach
in a friendly, which led to his substitution 17 minutes after he stepped out into the King
Power Stadium turf.
Despite Iheanacho spending few minutes on the pitch, manager Craig Shakespeare was delighted
to see Vardy and the Nigerian combine so effectively.
Shakespeare said : ”(Vardy) wanted to get back on the scoresheet and it was very unselfish
of Kelechi to lay it on a plate for him.
“As somebody coming on to make his debut, he could easily have been a bit more selfish
there.”
Iheanacho is expected to be named in the Nigerian squad for two World Cup qualifiers against
Cameroon in September.
