Iheanacho’s form has been a source of joy to Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr whose team need only one point from the remaining two matches to qualify for the continental showpiece.

Leicester City are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 1982, thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho who has continued his fine goalscoring form with a brace in the Foxes 3-1 victory over Manchester United at King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Watford defender William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Henry Onyekuru, Semi Ajayi and Oghenekaro Etebo have all arrived Super Eagles camp ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Benin and Lesotho.
