Ademola Lookman may not make his Super Eagles debut against Ghana next week, because he is not fully fit according to the Leicester City boss.
Lookman was brought in as a sub in a UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 tie at Rennes before he was later withdrawn.
“Ricardo Pereira and Ademola Lookman put themselves out there even though they weren’t 100 percent and weren’t feeling well,” said Brendan Rodgers.
The former England youth international has now opted to play for the Super Eagles.
The hard working winger has been named on the Eagles provisional squad for the World Cup playoffs against Ghana this month.
