Kelechi Iheanacho obviously didn't do much of exercing during the lockdown as the 23-year-old resumed training at Leicester City on Wednesday with protruding stomach and robust cheeks.
The Nigeria striker was one of the club's players that trained in small groups to begin preparation for restart of the 2019-2020 Premier League season in June.
The former Manchester City player now must work his socks off to be considered for selection by Brendan Rodgers.
After leaving on the fringes for the major part of the campaign, the U17 World Cup winner stormed back to reckoning following injury to England striker, Jammy Vardy. He weighed in with some Cup goals with three league goals and as many assists, to take his total haul to 28 goals in 81 appearances for the Foxes since he joined them from Manchester City in 2017.
Iheanacho in a statement on his Instagram page on Thursday, expressed his delight at returning training after almost three months of lockdown.
"Good to be back missed everything," stated the player upon arriving at training, as portrayed by the picture above taken beside his car.
Unlike his Nigeria team-mate, Wilfred Ndidi, overweight has been the major challenge of the Imo State indigene and has had to shed some to be fit for selection.
Iheanacho has featured in 12 league matches for the former Premier League champions this season.
