Leicester City of England attacker, Kelechi Iheanacho looks good to start Tuesday’s English Premier League fixture against Liverpool, megasportsarena.com reports.
Iheanacho’s second straight starting spot with The Foxes has been possible more so with injuries that are holding down Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka, while a number of positions in midfield have also been left open by a myriad of absentees in The Foxes’ squad.
The UAE 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup gold winner and most valuable player made the best of his start on Sunday versus Manchester City, as he got two assists and a goal against his former club, which must have buoyed his psyche ahead of The reds’ visit.
The product of Taye Football Academy of Owerri, who previously played on loan from City at Columbus Crew of USA, will now hope to make the best of his penultimate game before joining the Super Eagles’ camp in Abuja.
Another goal and top performance would boost his morale heading into the Africa Cup of Nations, while Nigerians would also love to see Wilfred Onyinyen Ndidi back in action, after missing the game versus City due to injury.
A match preview by Sky Sports noted: “Injury-hit Leicester will check on Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League visit of Liverpool after neither were risked at Manchester City on Boxing Day due to hamstring issues.
Ryan Bertrand (knee) became the latest addition to a lengthy Foxes absence list when he was injured in the warm-up at the Etihad Stadium, joining other recent casualties Ricardo Pereira (leg), Patson Daka and Caglar Soyuncu (both hamstring).
“The game comes too soon for Harvey Barnes, while Jonny Evans, Danny Ward, James Justin and Wesley Fofana also remain on the sidelines.”
