JUST IN: Super Eagles Star, Kelechi Iheanacho To Miss Rio Olympics.
Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho is certain to miss the Rio Olympics as he was shortlisted in Manchester City’s provisional squad for their pre season tour.
Pep Guardiola named his 34-man team for their pre season friendly games and the 19-year-old’s name was a notable addition for the billionaire club to tour China.
The Citizens from the outset have stated that the 19-year-old will not be available for Siasia’s Dream Team VI squad playing in next month’s Olympic Games in Brazil.
Iheanacho join the likes of Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Joe Hart and Vincent kompany in the party for City’s games against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and city rivals, Manchester United.
Iheanacho has scored 14 goals in all competitions last season with seven in the Premier League, four in the FA Cup and three in the Capital One Cup which was City’s only silverware for the 2015/2016 season.
