The 26-year-old has scored two goals and provided three assists in his previous five league outings for the Foxes.
“He (Iheanacho) has been brilliant for us of late. He’s been the one who looks like the threat. He kept fighting and kept working. He had two really good headers but couldn’t make the finish,” Rodgers was quoted by Leicester Mercury.
“The opportunity on the edge of the box, we’ve seen him score those recently, where he guides it into the corner. At least he was there to miss it.”
