Kelechi Iheanacho has lost his place at Leicester City and new manager Brendan Rodgers has told the striker what he should do to be a prominent player for the Foxes.


Iheanacho, former Manchester City player, according to Leicester Mercury, is a talented center-forward but isn't getting regular game-time because Jamie Vardy is doing fine at the moment.

The former Liverpool manager challenged Iheanacho to double his efforts at training if he must become one of his regulars before the end of the season.

The striker, 22, was an unused substitute when the Foxes beat Fulham 3-1 last weekend.

Leicester City will travel to Turf Moor where they will tackle Burnley on Saturday and Rodgers will hope to record his second victory since he replaced Claude Puel three weeks ago.

Iheanancho starting today's game is still in doubt, however, he will hope to enjoy some play time in the second 45 minutes.
