Leicester boss Rodgers: Evans so good on and off pitch

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is full of praise for Jonny Evans.

For Sunday's FA Cup semifinal against Southampton, one of the more experienced players Rodgers will look to is Evans.

Rodgers said: “Off the pitch, he's a top professional, prepares himself well, very focused, analyses his game, thinks about the game, rests well, recovers well, prepares himself to a very high level.

“On the field you see his calmness. He's the type of guy who, under pressure, he deals with those situations really well.

“To have someone of that quality and that mentality in your team is a great benefit."
