Schindler insists Huddersfield playing for next season

Christopher Schindler admits his teammates are fighting for their Huddersfield careers.

The Terriers have already been relegated to the Championship with six games still remaining in the season.

Speaking before Saturday's clash with Leicester, Schindler insists none of the Huddersfield players will be taking the game lightly.

He said: "There is no chance this is going to happen because it's about everyone's future. It's about the club and if it's not about the club, it's about players who want to leave - they need to perform.

"Players who want to stay, they need to convince the manager that the club has a plan for them for the next season. Take it as if we are playing for everything, this is the mind-set we have to have.

"Not giving one yard less but seeing it as a situation where we can prepare for next season against some of the best players in the world and some of the best teams in the Premier League.

"We have our pride as well. We want to catch Fulham because we are better, I am convinced. We don't want to be where we are now. It's hard to accept and talk about.

"It's something you don't want to have as a player and something you don't want to have on your CV."
