“I Would Have Loved to Have Everyone Available” – Pimienta Explains Iheanacho’s Bench Role
Sevilla’s head coach, García Pimienta, has explained his decision to leave Kelechi Iheanacho on the bench throughout Monday night’s intense 1-1 draw against Osasuna.
The Nigerian forward, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer during the summer, was expected to feature in the match but was sidelined for the full 90 minutes.
Speaking after the game, Pimienta clarified that unforeseen circumstances forced him to adjust his plans.
Injuries to key players Sambi Lokonga and Lucien Agoumé disrupted his substitution strategy, leading to Iheanacho’s exclusion.
“I would have loved to have all players available,” Pimienta explained.
“Kelechi couldn’t come on because of Lokonga’s discomfort, and Agoumé had to step in instead. Saúl is a very experienced player.
He was brought in to help the team in difficult moments, and he played well considering the circumstances.”
Iheanacho, 28, joined Sevilla after a stint at Leicester City and has featured in seven league games for the Andalusian side this season.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
