Leicester boss Rodgers appreciates ‘incredible’ Chelsea midfielder Mount
Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers, lavished praise on Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
The London club picked up a vital Premier League win over the Foxes on Tuesday, moving into third place in the Premier League.
Rodgers, whose side now needs to hope Liverpool drop points on the final day of the season, could narrowly miss out on a top-four finish two seasons in a row.

“We’re coming up against a team who are in the Champions League final,” said Rodgers post-game to reporters about Chelsea.
“They’ve shown consistently that they’ve got top-class players.
“I want to mention Mason Mount because this is a young guy I’d heard early on in the season there was maybe doubts around him, whether he should be playing or not for Chelsea.
“This boy is top, top level. They can be very proud of him here at Chelsea, the academy, he’s an incredible footballer and he’s going to be that.”
