Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr questions Kelechi Iheanacho’s professionalism

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has questioned the professionalism of Kelechi Iheanacho, stating that the Leicester City striker needs to be 'serious'.

The 22-year-old was left out from the 23-man squad for the Super Eagles' 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers tie against Seychelles and friendly game with Egypt.

The former Manchester City forward last scored for the three-time African Champions in November 2017 and his form at club level has also not been impressive, having extended his goal drought to six months with Leicester. Also, he has not started a game for the side since mid-December.
