Brendan Rodgers has pointed to the growing European experience within his Leicester City squad as the Foxes prepare to commence the Club's 2021/22 UEFA Europa League campaign on Thursday evening.
A blockbuster curtain-raiser awaits against Napoli on Filbert Way this week as Leicester's reward for lifting the Emirates FA Cup and finishing fifth in the Premier League last term. Rodgers, though, wants to progress far on the European stage, despite the scale of the task on Thursday.
Luciano Spalletti's Gli Azzurri outfit head into the encounter holding a 100 per cent record so far in Serie A this term, including a 2-1 triumph over Italian powerhouses Juventus over the past weekend. It's an exciting opener for the Foxes and Rodgers is braced for the challenge which awaits them.
