LaLiga: Sevilla Coach Pimienta Promises Increased Playing Time for Iheanacho
Sevilla’s head coach, Garcia Pimienta, has reassured supporters that Kelechi Iheanacho will be given more opportunities to showcase his talents in upcoming matches. Since joining the club on a free transfer this past summer, Iheanacho has had a limited impact on the field, making only five league appearances so far. His last two matches against Real Betis and Barcelona saw him remain an unused substitute, which raised questions about his role in the team.
Despite the lack of playing time, Pimienta is optimistic about Iheanacho’s future with Sevilla. “I’m pleased with his progress,” Pimienta stated. “He was actually set to come on recently, but Suso’s injury disrupted our plans significantly. It had a huge impact on our strategy because Suso is a key player for us. However, Kelechi has been training well, and he definitely deserves more minutes on the pitch.”
Pimienta’s confidence in Iheanacho is evident, especially considering the Nigerian forward’s potential to contribute to the team’s success. “Even though the last result wasn’t favorable, I intended to bring him on,” the manager added, highlighting his commitment to integrating Iheanacho into the squad more effectively.
As Sevilla prepares for their upcoming match against Espanyol in LaLiga this Friday, fans are eager to see how Pimienta will utilize Iheanacho. The match represents a crucial opportunity for the team to turn their fortunes around, and Iheanacho’s inclusion could play a vital role in that effort. With the manager’s promise of increased playing time, supporters are hopeful that they will soon see Iheanacho make a significant impact on the field.
Sevilla’s journey in LaLiga is underway, and with players like Kelechi Iheanacho ready to step up, the team looks poised to capitalize on every opportunity. Keep an eye on the match against Espanyol, as it could mark the beginning of a new chapter for Iheanacho in his Sevilla career.
