Stanley Or Kelechi: Chelle Clear-up Which Iheanacho Made Super Eagles Squad

Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has cleared the air on who he invited to the team for the upcoming friendly game against Russia between Kelechi Iheanacho and Stanley Iheanacho, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

We reported that Stanley Iheanacho who plays for Danish side Midtjylland was called up to the team as a replacement for the injured Sani Suleiman of Saudi Arabia side Al Qadsiah.

However when the list of players was made public, it was Kelechi Iheanacho, who plays for Turkish second division side Bursaspor that was called up as a replacement for Sani.

” There isn’t any mix up. It was Kelechi Iheanacho that was called up and not Stanley Iheanacho, but Stanley was placed on standby in the event that someone pulls out injured”, the coach revealed.

” Iheanacho is getting rewarded for his return to form despite the level he is playing. He is highly experienced and will be needed in a game like that “.
