"Traditional meals can include turkey, beef, goat, sheep, ram or chicken."
Fellow African teammate, Yaya Toure:"Christmas Day is celebrated by local Christians in Ivory Coast with all-night church services that start on Christmas Eve and end at 6 am but presents are not exchanged until the new year.
For Brazil duo of Fernando and Fernandinho: "Brazilians have their dinner of turkey, pork, rice and raisins on the 24th of December with a dessert of tropical fruits and ice cream. Santa Claus, or ‘Papai Noel’ in Portuguese, comes during the night of 24th and leaves gifts under the tree."
Meanwhile, Iheanacho trained with his teammates today as they prepare for the Boxing Day trip to Hull City.
