Leicester City’s relegation fight received a big boost as Kelechi Iheanacho has been confirmed fit to return to action.

Before he suffered a muscular injury in the match against Leeds United, the forward was in excellent form, scoring three goals in two games.

Since his absence, the Foxes have dropped every game they’ve played and are in desperate need of a miracle to avoid the drop this season.

This weekend, they play Newcastle United, and manager Dean Smith provided updates on the status of the Super Eagles attacker.

“Kelechi trained and will be in full training on Saturday morning.

“Kel has ticked all the boxes we need to. We’ve put him on fast forward for the boxes that the medical team would like to tick normally, but needs must at the moment,” he said.
