And his last Premier League start came in December.

“Kel will come back into pre-season, gain more confidence and hopefully come out of that with a renewed motivation to show his qualities.”


Iheanacho has scored just ten goals since joining Leicester in a £25million deal from Manchester City in 2017.


And he missed a gilt-edged chance against his former employers to draw the Foxes level on Monday.











Rodgers added: “I’ve been impressed with him. His appetite, his work, and then in games where he has come on, he’s impacted the game.


“He’s done very well, and nearly did again,” said Rodgers.


“He knows he should score, in big games you don’t get many chances. He’s a fantastic young player and hopefully he can show that over his time at Leicester.”
