Leicester boss Rodgers unsure of Kapustka future

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits he's unsure over the future of Bartosz Kapustka.

The Poland international played for the first time in nine months last week, having overcome a serious knee injury.

Rodgers has had him in first-team training this week, and admits being impressed.

“He's been very good in training," Rodgers said. “He's been excellent, to be fair.

“He's a young player who broke on the scene for Poland at the Euros in 2016. He did very well. Nobody knew much about him. He came to Leicester, went out on loan, and has been unfortunate with the injury.

“But certainly from what I've seen in training, he's been impressive. He's worked hard to get back. He's technically gifted, he's sharp, he looks like he wants to score a goal.

“He did well in the reserve game he played."

Kapustka has 18 months left on his King Power deal.
