Kelechi Iheanacho is ready to answer Leicester’s SOS call as they head to Newcastle with Premier League survival at stake.
The Nigerian – a hero of the Foxes’ FA Cup-winning campaign two years ago – has not played since sustaining a thigh injury in the 1-1 draw at Leeds on April 25, and Leicester have taken only one point from the three games since.
It was initially feared that Iheanacho would miss the rest of the season but the forward’s recovery has gone well and he trained this week – a stroke of good fortune for a club who need plenty.
