Kelechi Iheanacho - 2016/17 Performances

[cucumberman]

it really looked serious at first, a class act that Steaua player.

Why did they take him straight down the tunnel in the corner? I assumed they were taking him straight to an ambulance!!

No, I could see from EL3 that they just turned left between the ambulances towards the dressing room area, probably the quickest way to the medical room?

Hopefully just a straightforward muscle strain if he was walking ok after.

Any news on injury , & how long might he be out for ?

Have to be honest - I'd forgot he was on the field, until he got injured. Needs better players around him than he had tonight.

He worked his bollocks off pressing their back line, you're right he needed better players around him, in the absence of Dave there was fuck all creativity from the centre and Navas had his usual one good cross for the goal and another 20 that hit the first defender. Kelechi actually provided the best through ball of the night to put Delph in on goal.

Never stopped chasing down and played a huge part in the goal. You're right about the lack of quality around him though. Was feeding off scraps for the most part.

Thank you to Bogdan Mitrea for his quick reactions and sportsmanship when fearing a serious and potentially life threatening injury to Iheanacho - total class

Did get some Foe/Puerta flashbacks after seeing the defender reaction, great to hear everything is well

So he's not even injured? Maybe it was his tribute to OASIS but it got out of control when the docs came over and he had to roll with it.

Defo had an issue, eyes rolled body stiffened and tongue was visible, thought he was in dire straights for a mo, when their defender rushed to him I shit it, fair play to the fella for his reaction and hopefully the explanation about passing out through pain on here is what occurred, coz that wasn't normal to me.
