Injury: Iheanacho ruled out of Manchester City’s clash with Tottenham

Kelechi Iheanacho is not fit enough to play for Manchester City against Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The 19-year-old midfielder who failed to travel with Manuel Pellegrini’s men who spanked Sunderland 4-1 in Tuesday’s League Cup game joins David Silva, Gael Clichy, Fabian Delph, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony on the sidelines.

“At this moment, Mangala, Clichy, Delph, Silva, Bony and Kelechi are the six players injured,” Pellegrini told journalists at his pre-match press conference:
"Kompany is back, Hart is back, Nasri is back.
“I’m not 100% sure [when Mangala and Silva will be back], it depends on how they improve – maybe David can be fit for next Championship game, we’ll see next week. For Mangala, it will be difficult for him to be fit before the international break.
“It’s important for the team to have Vincent back. He’s just recovering, he’s the captain and he played well at the start of the season. Not just defending but he scored three goals also.
“We’ve had a lot of different injuries so it’s not just one reason but that’s why it’s important to have a squad,” he concluded.
Iheanacho has made three appearances for the Etihad Stadium giants and boast of a goal scored against Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park.

To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
