Rohr: Iheanacho must show sign of seriousness if…

Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr says Kelechi Iheanacho must have a change of attitude if he wants to make a return to the senior national team.

Iheanacho was not invited as Nigeria defeated Seychelles 3-1 in their last group match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.

Rohr advised Iheanacho to use the international window to get back into the starting line up of Leicester City.

“I think he must be more professional,” Rohr said.

“We’re not satisfied with his performances the last time he was with us.

“There’s a new coach at Leicester City and it will be an opportunity for Iheanacho to show during this international window that he wants to get back into the starting team of Leicester.

“Personally, I think it’s a good thing for him to stay back at his club to prove this.

“It’s not good enough to be funny all the time,” the German coach said.

“You must show that you are serious by working hard every day in the training sessions and show that you seriously want to come back into the team at the club and also with us.”
