Leicester boss Rodgers: Ward now showing why we've backed him

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the form of Danny Ward.

Rodgers praised goalkeeper Ward, who kept a fourth clean sheet in five games with a string of fine saves in victory at Wolves.

Ward suffered a difficult start to the season after replacing Kasper Schmeichel as Leicester's No 1, but Rodgers resisted pressure to drop the Welshman.

"It was always going to be difficult for him to step in and replace Kasper, but he's growing into the jersey," said Rodgers.

"What we've seen in the last few games is the resilience in the team, to stand up and be counted."
