Leicester City’s Iheanacho to miss Slavia Prague return fixture through suspension

Leicester City will be without Kelechi Iheanacho for the return fixture of their Uefa Europa League Round of 32 clash with Slavia Prague after the Super Eagles striker was shown a yellow card in the competition on Thursday.

Just after he replaced Jamie Vardy in their goalless draw in Prague, Iheanacho received a yellow card in the 64th minute which accumulated his bookings to three yellow cards this campaign and he will consequently serve a one-game suspension.

The Super Eagles forward has been impressive in the Europa League so far with three goals to his name after seven matches, and his absence might be a concern for the Foxes who are aiming for a win against Slavia Prague at the King Power Stadium next Thursday.
