Leicester boss Rodgers responds to Schmeichel, Fofana exit talk

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has addressed comments from Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana about ambitions beyond the club.

Both players have talked up leaving Leicester this week.

"Kasper has been such a great servant for the club. He's been absolutely first class. I've got no worries about Kasper's mentality and commitment. Wesley as well," Rodgers said.

“Every player will have ambitions to be at the highest level, but that doesn't mean they're thinking about leaving here to do that."

Asked if he is aware of any interest from Chelsea for Fofana following reports from France, Rodgers replies, “No, not at all."
