Unquestionably, Kelechi Iheanacho had an encouraging 2019/20 season at Leicester City.
Just when it seemed like the former Manchester City striker was withering away, after stalling in Manchester and failing to be reinvigorated in Claude Puel’s last months in the East Midlands, the mini-renaissance under Brendan Rodgers last term revived expectations that were either disappearing or had evaporated.
Still, 19/20 wasn’t as perfect for the forward as many remember it. Following watching briefs in the opening two games at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers and away at Chelsea, Iheanacho’s absence from the squad for subsequent matches was telling.
