Iheanacho Cleared To Join Flying Eagles

Following his critics’-silencing performance against Chelsea during the English FA Youth Cup final on Monday, the management of the Manchester City U-18 side has cleared Kelechi Iheanacho to join the camp of the Flying Eagles any time now.


Prior to the contest in London on Monday night, there had been speculations that the Taye Academy pupil would not be fit for this summer’s FIFA U-20 World Cup due to an ankle injury.


Having come through the game against the Chelsea Under 18s unscathed, Kelechi Iheanacho’s management team has said that he will link up with the Flying Eagles at their training camp in Germany in the coming days.


‘’Kelechi Iheanacho had an ankle injury but he’s now fully fit,’’ a representative of the striker told SL10.ng.

‘’Both Manchester City and his management team decided that he should not undergo surgery, so Kelechi was very disciplined to wear a cast.


‘’With this game in the bag, expect him to join the Flying Eagles camp soon.


‘’He has shot down all rumours concerning his fitness. Yesterday he showed everyone that he still has his sharpness, he is back.’’


The 18-year-old Iheanacho was one of the revelations of the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, and was presented with the Golden Ball as the best player of the competition.


The team’s secretary, Ibrahim Aliyu Auwal, had already informed the media that Friday had been set as the deadline for foreign-based members of the team to report to camp, in order to kick-start preparations for the World Cup in a few months.
