Nigerian ace striker Kelechi Iheanacho is set to miss the 2016 Olympics football competition in Brazil despite being named in Samson Siasia's 35-man squad list.

Reports say his club Manchester City did not release him . This is because new coach Pep Guardiola wants him to participate in the club's pre-season training and tour.

Kelechi has expressed interests to represent Nigeria at the competition, scheduled to come begin next month.

“If your country wants you to play for them you surely have to do so, but it’s not up for me to decide," he said.

“I don’t know if they have decided – my team and my country, I don’t know if they have concluded or not," he added.
