Kelechi Iheanacho looks highly unlikely to play for Nigeria in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier which takes place in Uyo in September.

Iheanacho was called up to the Super Eagles squad by new head coach Gernot Rohr last week, but it now seems very unlikely that the forward will play any part in the game.

This comes after he picked up what appeared to be a very serious injury in City’s UEFA Champions League game against Romanian club Steaua Bucharest at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old pulled up while sprinting to reach a pass, and was immediately replaced by Brazilian midfielder, Fernandinho in the 76th minute.

Wednesday's game, which City eventually won 1-0, represented the first time Iheanacho was starting a match for the Citizens under new manager Pep Guardiola.

Iheanacho, who netted 14 times for City in all competitions last season, has never scored in the UEFA Champions League.
