Iheanacho injured in Leicester debut

Leicester City’s striker Kelechi Iheanacho lasted just 17 minutes into his debut match after suffering an ankle injury. The £25million signing from Manchester City made his bow as Leicester defeated German side Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1.

Iheanacho came on the 66th minute and set up Jamie Vardy for the winner but was then replaced by Leonardo Ulloa after an awkward challenge.

Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare said: “I am still looking to find out. I don’t know whether it is ankle or Achilles.

“He was up on his feet, and the first thing is for me is that the physios are not showing a great concern, which is a good sign.

“Vards wanted back on that scoresheet and it was very unselfish of Kelechi to lay it on a plate for him as well because someone making his debut, coming on, could have easily been a bit more selfish there.

“He’s fine in there and getting a bit of a rib from the players in terms of him coming off.

“But you can see the impact he’s had. We’re really just making sure that was more of a precaution.

“We’ve had a look at him in training. He hasn’t trained very often so far – he hasn’t been able to because of circumstances.

“But the more minutes we can get him on the pitch the more that he’ll be liable to last 90 minutes.”
