Kelechi Iheanacho’s Future at Sevilla Sparks Speculation

Speculation surrounding Kelechi Iheanacho’s future is intensifying after the Nigerian forward missed Sevilla’s pre-season training.

Iheanacho recently returned to the club following the conclusion of his loan spell with Sky Bet Championship side Middlesbrough.

However, the 28-year-old was conspicuously absent during Sevilla’s third training session under new manager Matías Almeyda on Monday, July 7.

According to Diario de Sevilla, all available first-team and academy players took part in the session, “except for the internationals who are yet to report back following the FIFA window in early June.”

Despite missing the session, club reports indicate that Iheanacho is currently in Sevilla and has been seen participating in gym discussions led by Almeyda, as shared via the club’s social media platforms.

This absence has fueled speculation about his future with the Rojiblancos.

However, Estadio Deportivo later reported that Iheanacho was absent due to a gastrointestinal condition.

“It should be noted that the Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho was absent due to a gastrointestinal condition, although he did participate in earlier sessions,” the report stated.
