Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says that Super Eagles forward Ahmed Musa and teammate are fit ahead of this weekend clash against Liverpool.
Musa who joined the Foxes from CSKA Moscow is yet to score in the premier league but has a knack for scoring in big fixtures like he showed against Barcelona during pre-season.
Ranieri is happy that the Nigerian is injury-free as he looks forward to a great game against the Reds.
“When you start the season you want to continue to keep going but there is also the international break.
“The national teams need to make their job and fortunately nobody was injured, they came back with very good strength and atmosphere.
“We made a very good training session and we are ready to play these seven matches in 22 days. This is our block.
“It is good, it is exciting, we go from the Premier League, to Champions League to EFL Cup, and it’s good.”
Ranieri gave an update also on Kasper Schmeichel, Nampalys Mendy and Ghanaian international Jeffrey Schlupp.
“He (Kasper Schmeichel) is ready to play. I said it was a very little operation, it was good, the surgery was fantastic and he is ready to play.
“[Nampalys] Mendy is training on the bike, sometimes outside, and when he comes back with the first team he needs a week.
“Jeff [Schlupp] has started with us, the normal warm-up, and then he does something different. He is close to coming back. I don't want to risk them [against Liverpool].”
