Leicester City Manager Claude Puel Confirms Kelechi Iheanacho Might Play With A Broken Hand

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho could feature against Brighton despite suffering a broken hand on international duty.

Kelechi Iheanacho sustained the injury while he was away with Nigeria. He started his country’s victory in Poland last week but was absent from the squad for the 2-0 defeat to Serbia at Barnet on Tuesday night.

The 21-year-old returned to Leicester on Thursday and Foxes boss Claude Puel confirmed the injury at his prematch news conference, although he said the problem would be assessed to see if he could still play.

“We will see about Iheanacho because he has a broken hand,” said Puel. “We will see if he can play with his injury. We will see [on Friday] in the training session.

“I think he fell. It’s not an important injury. We will see if this injury prevents him from playing in this game. Perhaps it might be strange for him to play with a cast.”
