Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho admits being booed by his fans hurt.

Iheanacho finished the 2018-19 season with just two goals to his name, and amid a goal drought that would eventually last 12 months.

Midway through the campaign, during the final few months of Claude Puel's tenure, Iheanacho's appearances as a substitute were met by boos from sections of the City fanbase.

“As a player you face trials in your football career," he told BBC Sport. “It came at that time for me.

“It's draining in that position as a player, but I'm always a happy boy and I'm always working hard.

“I was really strong mentally to keep training hard and not to lose my mind, to focus, to help the team to achieve the goal that the team wants, so that was the most important thing.

“I had faith in God that one day it was going to be fine, something was going to work out for good. It is working out now, so I thank God for that. I will keep working hard to help the team."
