Head coach of English Championship side Leicester City Enzo Maresca has allayed fears on why Kelechi Iheanacho wasn’t listed in their last two consecutive games, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The Nigerian hasn’t been able to add to his goal count of five in 18 games so far this season for the high flying side as he hasn’t been involved in the 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle and yesterday’s 3-2 win over Millwall.
Both results achieved without the Nigerian ensured that they stay on top the table but ahead of the game against Birmingham on Monday, Maresca confirmed that the 27 year old will be fit for the game as he has recovered fully from the illness that kept him out of the last two consecutive games.
“Jamie (Vardy), I think he needs some days,” Maresca said after Wednesday’s victory. “Kele is alright, he can be for the next one.
“Yunus (Akgun) could be for the next one or not. Callum (Doyle) is very close. Harry (Winks) was ill, so he can be fine for the next one. Marc Albrighton had a kick in his knee, so we don’t know for Monday. Probably for Monday, the only one is Kele. The rest are going to struggle.”
