Schlupp: Leicester players expect Pearson to continue

Leicester City winger Jeffrey Schlupp insists the players are fully behind manager Nigel Pearson.

Ghana international Schlupp said all the players were fully behind the City boss and believe they can come through a difficult time.

"It is all part of it," Schlupp told the Leicester Mercury. "We have been in positions before where we have had managers under pressure.

"We are a tight bunch, the players and staff are together and we all have faith in our manager.

"It hasn't even crossed our minds anything could happen like that. To us, he will be with us a long time.

"We have all been together for a long time. I was here when Nigel was here the first time.

"We hear speculation and see the newspapers but it doesn't affect us or him. We will keep going. We are professionals and have been in this position before. We will get on with it."
