Matchday With The Manager – Opportunities For Younger Players & Assessing Spurs

The Foxes will be without up to nine players at King Power Stadium for a multitude of reasons, including positive COVID-19 cases, mild illnesses and injury, while Spurs themselves have seen two previous matches called off for similar issues as well. 

Rodgers' main issue is in defence with several centre-backs out of contention, including Jonny Evans and Çağlar Söyüncü, who both picked up injuries during the 4-0 victory over Newcastle United on Sunday. The Foxes manager, though, says it's a situation which offers others with opportunities.
