Leicester City manager Claude Puel has warned Kelechi Iheanacho he must keep improving if he is to earn a regular run in the starting eleven.
The Nigerian has failed to live up to expectations since signing for the Foxes from Manchester City in the summer and had a rare start against his former club in the Carabao Cup in midweek and while Puel praised the 21-year old, the Frenchman told him he must keep improving.
“[Iheanacho] tried, he shoot on target. He had a good opportunity in the first half. He gave his best," Puel told Leicester Mercury.
“He’s a young player, he needs to continue to work to improve
.
“It was important to see him, to give him game-time. It was a good opportunity for him and other players.
“I was happy with the squad because it was a good level of quality on the pitch and it was a good response after our game against Crystal Palace.
“Kele, like others players, like Slimani, like Musa, they are different players. It’s important for them and for the squad.
“We have a lot of players sometimes in the same position and it’s difficult to manage this. It’s important to keep the positive attitude, for Kele it’s the same thing.”
