Leicester City boss Rodgers on Iheanacho's injury and substitution

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers discussed Manchester City keeper Ederson’s role in how Kelechi Iheanacho had to leave the field during their 1-0 loss to the champions in the Premier League.

Iheanacho was hit by the Brazilian goalkeeper when he attempted to head home James Maddison's pass, and he was left in need of medical attention.

After the treatment, the 23-year-old managed to finish the first-half, but he was replaced by Harvey Barnes at half-time with Rodgers claiming he was 'groggy' during the break.

“It was the reason he had to come off,” Rodgers said, per Leicester Mercury.
