The Nigerian and Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho will not be participating in Leicester's Europa League clash with Legia Warsaw today after being turned away by Polish border control.
Kelechi travelled to Warsaw with the Foxes but a problem with his travel documents meant he was not allowed into the country.
The Foxes face Legia on Thursday but are now without the Nigeria international - last season's top scorer with 19 goals - who will now have to return to the UK.
The club coach; Brendan Rodgers said: "We've had an issue with Kelechi. His documentation coming into the country wasn't sufficient, so he wasn't able to travel. He will be unavailable for the game.
"The paperwork didn't allow him to enter the country. We'll have to look at that when we're back."
