Brendan Rodgers has described Leicester City's debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League as a 'real positive challenge' for the Foxes ahead of Thursday's tie against Danish outfit Randers FC.
After exiting the UEFA Europa League in December, City's European journey continues in this new competition, pitting them against Danish Cup winners Randers over two legs. The first leg tie takes place at Leicester City Stadium on Thursday evening (8pm GMT kick-off).
Rodgers admits the Foxes were bitterly disappointed not to prolong their campaign in the Europa League, but new opportunities now present his side with the chance to earn fresh experiences – and to go deep into a European competition for the first time since 2016/17.
