Leicester boss Rodgers desperate for season to resume

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is desperate for the season to resume.

The Foxes boss is adamant that their bid for Champions League football should run the full course if possible.

He says any bid to call the Premier League season null and void would see third-placed City's hard work go to waste.

Rodgers said: “For supporters, they've been on this great journey and we want to finish it for them.

“But while our preference would be to finish it off, we're all guided from a health perspective."

With everything in limbo due to the coronavirus, Rodgers says it's the fans who are the big losers, adding: “It is hard because football is so much a part of their life, football.

"There are thousands of supporters that travel around.

“We know it won't go on forever, we'll be back at some point. We miss the connection with the supporters, we miss doing our job, but it's important to stay healthy."
