Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta has praised Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of his side’s Copa del Rey clash with Olot.
The Rojiblancos will be away to the non-league club at the Camp Municipal on Thursday night.
Iheanacho scored a brace in Sevilla’s 3-0 win over Las Rozas in the first round.
The Nigeria has struggled for regular playing time at the club with zero goal in seven league appearances.
Despite the forward’s struggles at Sevilla , Pimienta is still backing the former Leicester City star to make a positive impact at the club.
“He was ready to come on, but Lokonga had a slight issue and Agoumé went out. He’s training very well, he hasn’t played more because I’ve considered that Isaac is doing well,” he told club’s official website.
“Tomorrow he will participate, and if you look at his CV, you can see he’s a great player, but in no case are we considering anything.”
