Leicester City boss Rodgers still has injury worries

Leicester boss, Brendan Rodgers, has his own injury worries as he was missing striker Jamie Vardy with a calf injury, which will also rule him out of the Europa League against Zorya on Thursday, while centre-back Caglar Soyuncu is set to be out for three months with a groin injury sustained on international duty with Turkey.

“Jamie will miss the European game and probably be OK for our next league game,” said the Foxes manager.

“This one was not so serious but we couldn’t afford the risk of a tear. Soyuncu is more serious, the muscle is right off the bone so he could be out for three months.

“That is an absolute shame. He will be a big miss and adds to the other boys [out injured].”

Rodgers was also frustrated his side could not hold out for a draw.

“I don’t think we deserved that, I thought we were the better team in the first half, got through them really well but we didn’t quite have that pass of quality,” he added.

“Second half it became a little bit more basketball and it is not that type of game we wanted.

“You are disappointed to lose that because if you can’t win it you don’t want to lose and to lose it in that way was disappointing.”
