Midfield trio Youri Tielemans, James Maddison and Papy Mendy each received praise from manager Brendan Rodgers for their individual talents ahead of Thursday’s fixture at Leicester City Stadium.
City’s UEFA Europa League Group G campaign continues against Portuguese outfit SC Braga, who have also won both of their opening matches against Zorya Luhansk and AEK Athens prior to a third round of European fixtures.
The Foxes’ squad has been stretched in the opening stages of the 2020/21 season due to injuries to several key players, but that has enabled Rodgers to get an understanding of how his stars can adapt when called upon.
