'He's undroppable' - Ex-Tottenham coach says Iheanacho is showing everyone what he can do
Published: May 07, 2021Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood is of the opinion that Kelechi Iheanacho is now an important member of the Leicester City squad and Brendan Rodgers cannot afford to drop him from the starting lineup.
For a while in his Leicester City career, it looked like Iheanacho won't fulfill his talent or just be no more than a super sub, but he's the player that has made the biggest impact for Leicester City in the last two months.
Since the start of March, the Nigeria international has directly participated in a remarkable 15 goals in ten matches across all competitions for the Foxes, all of which he started, which is a testament to the player and the coaching that he has received.
"It has been forced upon him (Brendan Rodgers) a little bit, there was no Maddison, there was no Ayoze Perez," Sherwood said on Premier League Productions' The Weekend Preview on Friday afternoon.
"He played him (Iheanacho) when Vardy was injured but he stuck with the two because you cannot drop him at the moment.
"He is undroppable, fantastic goals that he scores. I feel sorry for him, he has come from Manchester City, he probably thought he was going to play every minute of every game, didn't materialize like that.
"Now he has kept himself right, he's very professional, he's had the opportunity and he's showing everyone what he can do."

For the second month running, Iheanacho has been double-nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards.
