[SlimShadyRus]

Why hasn't he got called up to the NT for CAN? And has been called up to the u20 instead?

Iheanacho injured again

Posted by: Agency Reporter in News Update 3 hours ago

Manchester City starlet, Kelechi Iheanacho, has been sidelined by an ankle injury raising concerns over his availability for both the Nigeria U–20 and U23 teams, africanFootball.com reports.
Report says the FIFA U-17 World Cup Most Valuable Player is currently back in Manchester nursing the injury after a stint training with MLS side Colombus Crew.
In August, Iheanacho suffered a hamstring injury, which kept him out for several weeks.
The left-footed forward is now expected to get a work permit to ply his trade in the United Kingdom after Manchester City applied for the document from the British Home office.
Iheanacho has been invited by both the Flying Eagles and Olympic team for crucial qualifying matches in the New Year.

West Ham have today got a work permit granted for a 21-year-old Canadian called Doneil Henry. We should hear the official word about Nacho getting one soon, I reckon.

Work permit aside.......he obviously wont be helping our cause in January,seems luck in the forward dept has deserted us.

pardon?

1. He's a City player
2. He's a striker
3. Therefore he's crocked

That's actually true BTW, there's a picture somewhere on here...


Edit: with hindsight I'm glad Ambrose didn't get off the bench, he'd have only ripped something getting off his butt.

Kelechi Iheanacho's ITC has been delivered to City today. This allows them to apply for a work permit & register him w/ FA. (via @ColinUdoh)

I don't get what this means. Is this the green light or just the start of the process (which would fly in the face of what we previously thought)?

Edit: more......

ITC = International Transfer Certificate. Means his transfer is officially complete and Man City can apply for a Work Permit for him

If we still need to apply for a work permit I'd say it's far from over.

I meant the ITC so yes I agree though I doubt they could turn down the special talent route.

 

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

Fingers crossed, now let's get that permit sorted can't wait for this kid to be tested in the first team.

Obviously not, Wenger hasn't approved it yet.

I don't think it's a given. Previously someone posted a table of all the special talent appeals and most (if not all) of the ones that were granted had more international and/or European experience. Off of that I'd say it's 50/50 that he gets one.

Didnt he win the worlds cup best player at the under17s world cup? Not sure how much more special you can get. But this is City so who knows.

I'm glad he's 100% ours....... At worst,we loan him to a continental club.
