(Reuters) - Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho will miss their Europa League match against Legia Warsaw later on Thursday after the Nigeria international was denied entry to Poland due to an issue with his travel documents, manager Brendan Rodgers said.

Leicester's top scorer last season with 19 goals in all competitions, Iheanacho was set to play a key role for Rodgers' side in the Group C game in the Polish capital, with the club seeking their first victory of the campaign.
