Championship: Iheanacho urges Leicester City to sustain winning streak

Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has called his teammates to maintain their winning streak as they top the Sky Bet Championship.

After suffering relegation from the Premier League last season, the Enzo Maresca’s squad has kicked off their Championship campaign impressively.

In their weekend game against Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City secured a 4-1 victory, with Iheanacho contributing by converting a penalty. The victory now sees the team two points clear the table

After the game, Iheanacho emphasized the need for the team to stay strong despite their current position and acknowledged the tough nature of the league.

With the many games ahead, he stressed the importance of efficient squad management and the continuation of their winning streak.

“We’re on top now, but it’s a tough league. We need to keep going because there’s a lot of games. We have a big squad, so we need to manage ourselves and keep getting the wins,” he said.

The Nigerian striker has so far scored two goals in nine league appearances this season. Iheanacho also pledged his commitment, stressing that true outcome of their efforts would become evident at the season’s end.

Leicester City’s next game will be against Preston North End at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday.
