Kelechi Iheanacho down with ankle injury

Nigeria and Mancity  starlet Kelechi Iheanacho has once again succumbed to injury after he suffered an ankle injury in training due to a heavy tackle by a team mate at MLS side Columbus Crew.

Iheanacho who has been training with the MLS outfit, has since returned to Manchester to recuperate. 

We gather that iheanacho suffered a similar injury in August this year that sidelined him for several weeks.

The reigning Africa Youth Player of the Year, who also was MVP at the last FIFA under 17 world cup has been invited by Coach Samson Siasia and coach Manu Garba to the Nigeria under 23 and under 20 sides respectively.

The Nigeria under 20 side face a daunting challenge in their bid to win the Africa Youth Championship, after being drawn against Cote D'Ivoire, Congo and Hosts Senegal. 

The tournament kicks off in March next year.
