Iheanacho Set for Brighton Clash Following International Break

Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho is poised to play a pivotal role in the upcoming English Premier League clash against Brighton this Saturday, as he returns to club duties after representing Nigeria during the international break, as reported by Completesportsnigeria.com.

Having contributed to the Super Eagles’ victory over Poland in a friendly match in Wroclaw last week Friday, Iheanacho was unfortunately sidelined during Tuesday’s defeat against Serbia in London due to a hand injury. Now back with Leicester City, the 21-year-old is undergoing evaluation by the club’s medical team in preparation for the crucial encounter with Brighton.

Reflecting on his international stint, Iheanacho expressed his enthusiasm on Twitter, stating, “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 weekend’s game.”

The young forward has exhibited his prowess in the Premier League, making 15 appearances for Leicester City this season and finding the back of the net on one occasion.

As Leicester City currently occupies the eighth position in the EPL table, amassing 40 points from 30 games, Iheanacho’s return is anticipated to bolster the squad’s efforts as they aim for a positive outcome against Brighton. The clash is eagerly awaited by fans, who are hopeful that Iheanacho’s dynamic presence will contribute to the team’s success.
