Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says Daniel Iversen is set for a run of games.

Iversen made his Premier League debut in the 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday afternoon, Rodgers dropping number one Danny Ward. The manager revealed post-match that he'd had a long chat with the Welshman prior to the Chelsea defeat in which he conceded three goals, with Ward partially at fault for Ben Chilwell's opener.

“It's always important to give a goalkeeper a good run of games and I felt Danny Ward deserved that," Rodgers said in his post-match press conference. “I had a long conversation with him before the Chelsea game in terms of what I expect, the standard I expect and what I want from my goalkeeper.

“Daniel Iversen has played a lot of football over the past four years and he's progressed. He's continually grown. I've seen him in training, he's a brilliant shot-stopper and he's good on crosses. He has a calmness.

“Wardy took it great, as I would expect. We had an honest conversation. He was disappointed in how he's done in his time. He can reflect now on it.

“Daniel will come in and play and we'll go from there. He'll get a run of games. It's important he feels he's not just judged on this performance. I thought he did really well. He was really assured."
