Frustration. That’s probably what Claude Puel and, to a larger extent, Kelechi Iheanacho felt following the forward’s withdrawal against Southampton just after the hour mark in gameweek three last weekend.
At the time of the Nigeria international’s substitution, in the 67th minute, the Foxes had only just equalized through Demarai Grey 10 minutes earlier, and many would have expected the French coach to keep Iheanacho on, given that the game was there for the taking.
Puel's side eventually won 2-1 thanks to Harry Maguire's late, late strike, however, the decision to bring on Marc Albrighton spoke volumes about the forward’s ineffectual display, and how Puel sees Iheanacho.
