Iheanacho set for La Liga debut versus Villarreal

By Daily Sports Nigeria on August 23, 2024

After missing out on Sevilla La Liga 2024/25 opening game against Las Palmas, Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho is set to make his La Liga debut for the Spanish club following confirmation he had been officially registered for the current season, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Sevilla announced the signing of the 27-year-old earlier this month after his contract with Leicester City expired at the end of last season, penning a two-year deal with the Andalusian club.

Though the Super Eagles forward did not feature in most of Sevilla’s pre-season friendly games, including the clash with Fulham, he travelled with the rest of the squad to face Liverpool in a 4-1 defeat at Anfield Stadium.

Despite declaring his readiness to make his competitive debut for Sevilla, Iheanacho missed the first game of the season against Las Palmas after it was revealed that the club failed to register him for La Liga due to the league’s stringent financial rules.

On Monday, Sevilla hoped to sell defender Loic Bade for €20m to put the club in a position of profit in terms of their business, giving them extra margin to manoeuvre in their salary limit.

However, the French international rejected the move to Stuttgart despite an agreement concluded between the two clubs. The Frenchman’s decision made Iheanacho’s situation more concerning, with indications that he might be again left out of their matchday 2 home game against Villarreal.

Reliable Spanish journalist Gonzalo Tortosa confirmed that the Seville-based club have registered Iheanacho for La Liga this season, and he will be available for selection when they play Villarreal at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Friday (today).
