Leicester boss Rodgers unconcerned about player power

New Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he is unconcerned about player power.

Rodgers is confident he can handle the dressing room he's inherited.

"I will very much lead them," he said. "But I am finding, and I have heard, that they are players who actually really care about doing well. When something is not quite right they will have an opinion.

"I am so happy to have that type of player here because they are ambitious. As long as you give them purpose and are clear, they will thrive.

"You want that leadership and character. If it oversteps the mark then you deal with it. I don't think that will be the case."
