Leicester City coach, Claude Puel, has downplayed Kelechi Iheancho’s injury ahead of his side’s clash with Brighton & Hove on Saturday.
Iheanacho, 21, injured his right arm while on international duty with Nigeria against Poland last Friday.
Due to the knock, he was left out of the tie against Serbia three days later.
Although Puel has confirmed the Nigerian isn’t fit yet, however, the Frenchman seems not very bothered by his absence.
”'[Almost] all the players are [fit]. Just Iheanacho, who has a broken hand, and James. We will see if [Iheanacho] can play with this injury,” Puel said to Leicester City’s official website.
”We will see tomorrow in the training session. He fell but it’s not a [bad] injury. We will see if this injury will prevent him from playing [at Brighton] or not.
“It’s not an important injury but it might be strange to play with.”
In 23 outings in all competitions this season, Iheanacho has found the net six times, while providing three assists.
