Leicestershire Live however in a report stated that the Super Eagles defensive midfielder may not be risked against Brighton after all as manager Brendan Rodgers is wary of rushing the Nigerian back to club duties.

Also on the mend is defender James Justin, who has been out of action since February, when he suffered a serious cruciate Ligament injury.

The youngster featured in every minute of his side’s first 23 Premier League games of the campaign up to that point
