Rodgers: Champions League fate still in Leicester's hands

The Hindu  

Manager Brendan Rodgers says Leicester City is in a first-class position in its pursuit of Champions League qualification, despite its shock Premier League defeat by Bournemouth at the weekend. With three rounds of fixtures remaining, the battle for the Champions League spots could be settled on the final day of the season when Leicester hosts United at the King Power Stadium. That's the type of mentality we have always had.” Leicester duo Ben Chilwell and midfielder James Maddison are a doubt for Thursday's league clash against Sheffield United, while centre back Caglar Soyuncu is suspended for the rest of the season after his red card at Bournemouth. “We're obviously still assessing Ben and James game-by-game so we'll leave it to the last moment to see how they go but questions marks,” Rodgers said.
