Michael Carrick Excited as Iheanacho Returns to England with Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough’s manager, Michael Carrick, is thrilled to welcome Kelechi Iheanacho to the team. The Nigerian forward has joined Boro on a six-month loan from Sevilla, marking his return to English football after previous spells with Manchester City and Leicester City.
Carrick expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re obviously delighted Kelechi is joining us. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to be in time for tonight but he’ll be an important player for us, have a big impact.”
He also mentioned the strength of the team’s attacking lineup and emphasized the importance of integrating Iheanacho during the upcoming training sessions.
Iheanacho had a challenging stint at Sevilla, where he made nine La Liga appearances without scoring but netted three goals in two Copa del Rey matches.
His return to England is highly anticipated, given his previous successes, including winning the Premier League with Manchester City and the FA Cup with Leicester City.
Zimbabwe player Tawanda Chirewa, speaks on upcoming match against Super Eagles. The footballer shares that their team must be brave for the match.
“I am just looking at recovery and going again on Tuesday against Nigeria, which is a very good team.”
“A lot of their players play in England and Europe. Obviously I want to go out there and show what I can do. Our team has got so many good players as well so we can’t fear Nigeria.”
Victor Osimhen has described the Super Eagles’ remaining 2026 World Cup qualifiers as battles they must win at all costs.
The Super Eagles boosted their chances of qualifying with a 2-0 win over Rwanda in Kigali on Friday, securing their first victory in the series. The win pushed the three-time African champions to fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches.
Eric Chelle’s team will face Zimbabwe next at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday, aiming to keep the momentum going.
“We’re ready. The remaining matches are wars, and we must give everything to win them,” Osimhen said.
Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to defend Portugal’s badge for the rest of his life. Speaking at a press conference before Portugal’s Nations League quarter-final second leg against Denmark on Sunday, Ronaldo made it clear that winning matters more to him than personal glory.
Portugal lost the first leg 1-0 at Parken on Thursday, but Ronaldo stressed that his focus is on helping the team succeed, no matter who scores.
“It’s not about me scoring. I just want Portugal to win. If we win and I don’t even play, I’ll take that,” Ronaldo said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“My focus has always been on defending my country’s badge until I die. I’d be happy if we win tomorrow and someone else gets the goal.” Ronaldo has scored a record-breaking 135 goals for Portugal since his debut in 2003.
