Kelechi Iheanacho will have a full pre-season with Leicester City, after he failed to make the final cut for Nigeria's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad, The Nation reports.
The 22-year-old is one of two players, left out by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, along with Rotherham's Semi Ajayi.
Iheanacho's club team-mate Wilfred Ndidi is in the squad and is expected to be a starter for Nigeria.
Although, Rohr praised the improvement in the striker's professionalism, he chose not to take him along for the tournament.
Iheanacho will now focus on breaking into the Leicester side next season, under new manager Brendan Rodgers.
