Iheanacho will fight back at Man City — Rohr

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is confident Kelechi Iheanacho will fight his way back into Manchester City’s first team plans.

Rohr revealed he has spoken with the 20-year-old striker, who has been left out of City’s last four matchday squads.

“I am sure Kelechi will come back to this team,” Rohr told Africanfootball.com. “He’s a fighter, he has a good fighting spirit.

“This player is a good athlete and he has a good mind.

“I have spoken with him and he will come back.

“He’s a young player, so sometimes he plays, sometimes he doesn’t.

“And for a big club like Manchester City, you can’t play all the time. I believe he will come back to play for City again.”
