Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has not been receiving good service from the midfield despite his good attacking movements, manager Claude Puel claimed.
The Nigeria international has managed just a goal in 16 league games for the Foxes who are 11th in the English top-flight table.
His only goal so far this season came in Leicester's 3-1 defeat of Huddersfield Town back in September.
On Saturday, he was introduced as a second-half substitute for Demarai Gray as his team slipped to a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Despite the dip in his goalscoring form, Puel has defended the former Manchester City attacker by calling for improvement from his midfield distributors.
