Pimienta expressed his belief in Iheanacho’s abilities and backed the forward to regain his peak form soon.

“He (Iheanacho) possesses quality, but he joined the team a month late and had to train individually. He is still adapting. Additionally, the two weeks with the national team, during which he did not play, did not benefit him,” Pimienta told a Spanish media outlet ondacero.

“We need to instil confidence in him. He is a skilled footballer, considering his previous performances, and it’s only a matter of time before we see him at his best. He has the potential and the quality to achieve it.”

Iheanacho will be hoping to click if given the chance today as Sevilla visit Athletic Bilbao today, September 29.

Sevilla will be looking for their first win this season in away league matches, as they have one loss and two draws on the road
