Chelsea Coach Admits Kelechi Iheanacho Scared The Hell Out Of Them
Published: April 28, 2015
Chelsea Under 18s coach Joe Edwards has admitted that he was bothered that Kelechi Iheanacho was named in the starting XI by Manchester City when both teams clashed in the FA Youth Cup final on Monday.
The Nigeria youth international was not risked for the first leg as he was just recovering from an ankle injury.
“City were able to bring in their centre-forward Kelechi Iheanacho, who was unavailable for the first leg, but we knew the threat he was able to bring and he showed that with the early goal,”Joe Edwards told the official website of Chelsea, chelseafc.com.
Iheanacho opened scoring in the 5th minute but Chelsea would go on to score two goals to win the final 5 - 2 on aggregate.
The ex Golden Eaglets star is expected to be named in the Flying Eagles roster for the Fifa Under 20s which begins next month.
