Leicester boss Pearson puts fringe players on notice

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says it's impossible to keep all his players happy.

But he expects to utilise the depth of his squad in the coming weeks.

"It can change quickly. For the first game of the season, the team pretty much picked itself, but now, of course, we have very few players unavailable through injury or suspension.

"Because of the differences in the loan rules between the Premier League and the Championship, you have to protect yourself and make sure the squad is able to deal with setbacks along the way.

"We are still in the very early days of the season so the players who are possibly not very happy at the moment may not be the players who are not happy towards the end of the season.

"Things change very quickly and the players have to be ready to take their opportunity when they get it."
