Leicester City are sweating on the fitness of AFCON-bound Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of New Year’s Day clash against Huddersfield Town.
Leicester City opened an eight -point gap at the top of the English Championship on the back of a 2-0 win at Cardiff City Friday.
They did so without their Nigerian striker, who was not listed altogether for the game.
City boss Enzo Maresca said Iheanacho is nursing a muscular injury and they now have to wait to see whether he will be fit for the home game Monday against Huddersfield Town.
“He had a muscular injury some days ago. We will see now how he is and if he can be okay for the next one,” said the coach.
