'Has responded to treatment' - Leicester coach refuses to rule Iheanacho out for the season 

Leicester City interim manager Dean Smith has hinted that forward, Kelechi Iheanacho could return for the Foxes' last two Premier League games of the season.

Iheanacho suffered a groin injury in Leicester City's 1-1, draw with fellow relegation strugglers Leeds United last month with the forward being involved in the build-up to the Foxes' only goal of the game.

​
The Super Eagles star has been decent for the East Midlands club, scoring 5 goals and registering 4 assists in 26 appearances in the Premier League.
​

Before his injury, Iheanacho  had started two of the three Premier League games under the new Leicester City boss, scoring two goals, one of which was against his former side, Manchester City
​

Speaking on  Iheanacho's fitness ahead of Leicester City's Premier League game against Fulham on Monday, Smith told the official website of the Foxes : "Kel has responded to treatment. He's not back for the weekend, but we may get him back for the last two games of the season. Other than that, everyone came through the [Everton] game okay.
​
​
 With the exception of the visit to Everton to the King Power Stadium, Iheanacho has been named in all of Leicester City's matchday squad in the Premier League, starting 9 games, coming on as a substitute 17 times and was an unused substitute 7 times.

​
The 26-year-old has scored eight goals in all competitions this season.
