Iheanacho Returns To Leicester City Training

Leicester City manager, Dean Smith has revealed forward Kelechi Iheanacho will return to training next week after a short spell on the sidelines.

Iheanacho sustained a muscle injury in the Foxes draw against Leeds United last month.

The Nigeria international has missed Leicester City’s last two games since copping the injury.

There were fears the 26-year-old could be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

Smith has however offered a positive injury update on the striker.

“Hopefully he’s due to training earlier next week rather than later. We thought he’d only have a build-up of two days before the Newcastle game, but he’s ahead of schedule, which is pleasing for us”, he said.

Leicester City will host Liverpool at the King Power Stadium next week Monday.
