It is confirmed that Kelechi Iheanacho will miss the upcoming AFCON 2019 in Egypt.
Remember that Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr once said ‘club form’ will be a major factor in selecting players for the upcoming tournament.

The other player who has been dropped is Semi Ajayi of English club Rotherham United.
