Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has debunked reports of a rift between him and Leicester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho.
Iheanacho is yet to make an appearance for the Super Eagles at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cutp of Nations.
There were reports of discord between Peseiro and the striker.
The gaffer has however said there is not truth in the reports.
“There are a lot of negative stories out there. If there was something between us, Kelechi will not be here. I will not invite him,” Peseiro told a press conference.
“He was injured before the competition and was not with us in Abu Dhabi. He arrived before our first game and started work the following day.
“We have to work with our doctors on his recovery process. We believe in Kelechi, he is going to play and score for us in this competition.”
