Leicester boss Rodgers warns Daka of bench role for Brentford

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says Patson Daka can't be expected a start against Brentford.

Daka scored four goals in their Europa League victory over Spartak Moscow.

With Jamie Vardy returning, Rodgers said, “What's most important is that he's in great form and puts us in a great thought process for the weekend,

“That's what we get paid for, making those decisions. We'll go away, finalise our preparation and we'll see what we think is the best combination to win the game.

“If that means Patson is on the bench, he's on the bench. He'll contribute. We just try to find the right combination."
