Why are you blaming the club? He's not a child. Should be able to sort out the mandatory documents himself.

 

It's pretty much 100% the club's fault. 

 

I assume we have a team manager, a senior administrator whose job it is to coordinate, amongst other things, travel arrangements. 

 

Unless Kel turned up on the day without his passport (which obviously isn't the case else he'd not have gotten out of the UK) then the rest should be up to the club. Making sure they all have the necessary travel documents and that they're all clear to travel should be the responsibility of back office staff within the club. 

 

Similar situation with the Argentina - Brazil farce the other day. People were blaming the Argentina players but its the Argentinian FA and the national side's team manager (not a manager in the Brendan Rodgers since, again I'm talking a manager in the administrative sense) that's got to be responsible for coordination and making sure everyone's clear to play, has the documentation they need and all the legal stuff is handled. 

 

It's Iheanacho's job to just turn up and play tbh.

Rodgers found a way of not playing him and not upsetting the fans!

"Iheanacho was detained at Warsaw's Chopin Airport and will now fly back to England after officials noticed anomalies between the information on his passport and paperwork

Kelechi Iheanacho has been denied entry to Poland for Leicester's Europa League match"

 

Somehow, and we don't know how, Nacho's paperwork had incorrect info. 

 

Someone didn't check properly, maybe Nacho, maybe the club. I'm blaming Wellens 

Cleary Puel’s fault.

TBF to the Club Backroom Administration Staff and Kelechi, I also thought Nigeria was still in the Schengen Zone

With the right documents all correctly filled out, every chance.

 

He has travelled before. There's just been an eff up this time.

Start Daka pleaseeeeee

For some reason the lcfc media guys have not mentioned this news on the website.

How can lcfc.com hope to be the s

place for news about lcfc?

[FoyleFox]

Perhaps for future trips we should have a group passport and paperwork, like you used to for school trips.

How about assigning every player a buddy to make sure they don’t get lost or into trouble?

And if there is an odd number, the one left over has to pair up with Brendan?

An accountabilibuddy.

I was thinking well Wilf has obviously got his in order……. Oh yeah! 

[coolhandfox]

Got a feeling Wilf looks after Kel........

[dannythefox]

What an absolute joke this could only happen to us. Do they not have people sorting this stuff out ffs. Convinced people in high places have it in for Leicester this season and we’ll have to graft our arses off to turn this around. 

[SecretPro]

Laughable really. But not funny.

No surprise there then!

[fazzyfox]

He thought Warsaw was that place up near Birmingham and Wolverhampton, no passport required, easy mistake

I suspect not. I'd guess it could happen to any team... with Nacho in it!

[volpeazzurro]

Another conspiracy theory could be that it was Brendan that completed Kel's paperwork for him? 😁

Okay...Nothing better to do  I tried to find out what documentation is required, post Brexit and given Poland is not Covid green, to travel to Warsaw from UK on a non-british passport.

Impossible to determine. Guess rest of squad are on UK or EU passports. No doubt club should have been on this, and deffo need to sort it well before next game abroad.

I get the feeling they are good mates and Wilf is the guide to Kel on what is required. As both are from the same country they would require the same documents. Perhaps the Brexit situation now means that additional paperwork is required for Nigerian based UK people? 

Either way the club's document "checker" hasn't done his/her job. I am assuming we have individuals now in the extended team of 55 people or so! In Birch's days there would be the manager and the coach doing all this.

Daka is Zambian, assume similar requirements to Nigerian nationals, as non UK or EU. Daka is easier to spell admittedly
