Asked if he was impressed with Iheanacho’s goal against Egypt, Rodgers said at a press conference: “It was a brilliant strike.
“I thought Nigeria looked really good, looked really structured in the game, good organisation and you can see the players of quality they have in the team.
“Kelechi has proven over this last 12 to 18 months he can score goals. Great spin and finish, I’m delighted for him.”
Iheanacho and his teammate, Wilfred Ndidi could miss the Foxes’ next three matches, depending on Nigeria’s progress at Cameroon 2021.
