Kelechi Iheanacho has confirmed that he is not injured despite being hauled off during Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat of Steaua Bucuresti in Wednesday’s Champions League second leg play-off.
The forward looked to suffer a hamstring injury after going down in pains after attempting to chase a ball through – and was replaced by Fernandinho after he was stretchered off.
And Iheanacho has insisted that he is fit to play again in light of assumptions from some quarters that he would be on the sidelines for weeks.
“Great result for the team today. Very pleased we've qualified for the Champions’ League group stages. Thank you everyone for your messages. I'm pleased to inform you all that I’m okay,” he wrote on Instagram.
With this, he could be considered for selection when Pep Guardiola’s men welcome West Ham United in Sunday’s English Premier League fixture.
Also, the news comes as a relief for Nigeria national team handlers as the prodigy is expected to feature in next month’s inconsequential Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.
