The survival fight of Premier League club Leicester City received a big boost on Thursday as injured Nigeria's Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho is back in training, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigeria international was on fine form scoring 3 goals in 2 games before he sustained a muscle injury in the game against Leeds United.

Since his absence, the Foxes have lost all the games they played and need a miracle to survive the drop this season.

They face Newcastle United this weekend and the team manager Dean Smith gives updates on his recovery.

“Kelechi trained and will be in full training on Saturday morning.

“Kel has ticked all the boxes we need to. We’ve put him on fast forward for the boxes that the medical team would like to tick normally, but needs must at the moment,” he said
