Rodgers initially expected the striker to be sidelined for a lengthy spell.

The former Leicester City manager however hinted that Iheanacho will be out of action for just few weeks.

“Alistair and Kelechi are probably not as serious as we first thought, but I’m not sure they’ll make Wednesday. “So they’ll definitely be a few weeks,” he told The Celtic Way.

The 29-year-old has scored twice in four league appearances for the Hoops.
