Iheanacho’s Debut for Leicester City Ends in a Sour Note After He Lasted for Just 17 Minutes

Kelechi Iheanacho’s debut for Leicester City ended on a sour note, as he suffered a minor injury blow after lasting for just 17 minutes when he was forced off during match against Borussia Monchengladbach.

 

Coach Craig Shakespeare has allayed injury fears over Kelechi Iheanacho after the Leicester City’s new signing limped off just 17 minutes into his debut.

The Nigeria internatonal, who completed a £25million move from Manchester City on Thursday, hobbled off late on in the pre-season victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Iheanacho had just set up Jamie Vardy for the second of his two goals in the victory, before struggling to run off a knock on his left foot.

The 20-year-old had replaced Shinji Okazaki on 65 minutes and received huge cheers and a standing ovation from the City fans at the King Power Stadium.
