Peseiro instructed to include Iheanacho in the lineup against South Africa
Football analyst Festus Alenkhe has urged Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro to include Kelechi Iheanacho in the lineup for the semi-final against South Africa in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Wednesday. Alenkhe emphasized that the addition of the Leicester City star would enhance the team's strength and effectiveness.
Alenkhe expressed his curiosity, stating, "I am wondering why the coach has not fielded Iheanacho."
"If the coach is heeding my advice, I recommend playing him in the second half of the semi-final."
He also urged the technical crew to enhance the midfield for a stronger performance against Bafana Bafana.
"We must work on our midfield; although the defense and attack seem solid, improvement in the midfield is crucial," he added.
Notably, Iheanacho has yet to make an appearance for Nigeria in the 2023 AFCON.
