Kelechi Iheanacho lack of game time at Manchester City is a form of betrayal by manager Pep Guardiola according to coach Manu Garba, the ex-Nigeria U-17 coach who gave him his breakthrough at the 2013 World Youth Championship.
Iheanacho has missed the last seven games of Manchester City. He failed to make the matchday squad on five occasions and was twice left on the bench by Guardiola.
Even the injury to Gabriel Jesus hasn’t worked in his favour as many speculated and Garba believes the 20 year old has not been fairly treated by the manager.
” He (Iheanacho) pulled out of the Nigerian team to the last Olympics in Rio on the orders of Guardiola, who also made the club sign an extension with him. Fast forward June to this day and he can’t get into the team”, Manu told Owngoalnigeria.com.
