Iheanacho refused entry into Poland as passport issues rock Leicester Europa League plans

Leicester will be without Kelechi Iheanacho for their Europa League clash with Legia Warsaw on Thursday after the Nigeria international forward was denied entry into Poland.

The Foxes flew out for their latest continental fixture on Wednesday evening, but are now a man down after issues at passport control.

Iheanacho has been forced to head back to the UK and will be left as a spectator when Brendan Rodgers’ side take to the field.

Why is Iheanacho out?

Problems with the 24-year-old's documentation have led to an embarrassing mix up for the Foxes, who will be without their top scorer from last season when facing Legia.
