The Foxes number 8 was the most high profile omission from the Super Eagles squad that won bronze at the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations due to his loss of form ahead of the tournament and Rohr had publicly questioned his professionalism.
Putting aside the fact that Iheanacho has returned to form with three goals in his last two pre-season matches, the German believes the striker has turned over a new leaf.
“Work has already started and I know that this player Kelechi Iheanacho can still do a good job for us,” noted Rohr.
“Kelechi too can score goals and I think that his omission from the AFCON would be a big motivation for him.
“I was talking with him throughout the AFCON because he’s still a congruent part of our team and I know he wants to work harder now because he has understood the professional ways of doing things.
Rohr concluded that the player can return back to his best and become an important player for the national team in the future.
“ I know that Kelechi can be an interesting player for the Super Eagles,” he reiterated.
