Pep Guardiola gives conditions for Iheanacho to get back into City's squad

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has listed two things Kelechi Iheanacho must do to force himself back into the Manchester City team.

The Super Eagles forward have only started three Premier League matches this season under the Spaniard, and with Brazilian striker, Gabriel Jesus, set to arrive in January, his chances will be further limited.

With Guardiola opting for a lone-striker system, Sergio Aguero is his first choice.

When asked what would have to happen to get Iheanacho more first team opportunities, Guardiola said: “Change the coach maybe! (first)

“Of course he deserves to play, but there are many, many others who deserve to play too.

“Our job is so uncomfortable for these kind of decisions.

“Normally when these guys don’t train good, when they are not nice guys with his team-mates, it doesn’t matter, but that is not the case with Kele.

“My advice is keep going, keep fighting, (second) sooner or later everything is coming back, and of course he’s going to have his minutes.

“Until now he played good, but in the big teams sometimes that happens. You can play just 11 players and that’s all.”
