​Iheanacho set for Leicester return after impressive U23 display

Kelechi Iheanacho is set to make his return to the Leicester City first team following his impressive performance for the reserves.

Iheanacho has struggled for regular minutes on the pitch since his move to Leicester City from Manchester City over the summer due to a toe injury but the striker is making good progress in his recovery.

The Nigerian impressed during the Leicester City Under-23's 3-1 victory over West Ham on Monday night after grabbing a goal and the Leicester Mercury have claimed that the 20-year-old is now in contention to feature during the Foxes' upcoming encounter against Huddersfield Town.
