Rodgers delighted in bringing teen prospect Tawanda Maswanhise

Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers, is happy bringing through 18-year-old prospect Tawanda Maswanhise.

Rodgers included the 18-year-old in his matchday squad for the win at Manchester United to give him an idea of what’s required to be a Premier League player.

Maswanhise has athletic pedigree as the son of a former sprinter, Jeffrey Maswanhise representing Zimbabwe in the 400m at the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Games.

“He’s a young player I like,” Rodgers said of the 18-year-old. “I’ve seen him playing for the Under-18s. He’s quick, he’s direct. He’s got a lot of strengths and he’s got a lot of potentials, but a lot of work to do.

“Bringing in young players, like we’ve done with Luke before, it gives them the experience.

“To feel the preparation, to sit on the bench, to see the quality of the players, it gives him a flavour of the level and preparation he needs to be here. That was the idea.”
