Super Eagles and Leicester City of England striker Kelechi Iheanaxho will play no part in tonight’s friendly match against the Serbia national team slated for the Hive Stadium, London.
This was disclosed by the team’s head Coach, Gernot Rohr before the team’s final training session. The match will be played at 8pm.
“Kelechi has a fracture on the hand (4th métacarpe ) Hé cannot play in our friendly match against Serbia but the mood of the players in camp is very good”, Rohr told SportingLife.ng from London.
The Franco-German Coach has also revealed that he plans to use tonight’s warm-up to further monitor the trio of goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, Joel Obi and Brian Idowu.
“The three players who have just joined us need more competition like Francis, Brian and Joel.
” My expectation is to use another system and see the players. Friendly games are laboratories to test players or systems.
“Some players need to play less than 90 minutes because of the end of the season for clubs which is always tough”, Rohr explained.
