Leicester fullback Fuchs: What Rodgers told me upon arrival...

Christian Fuchs is delighted to be seeing regular action for Leicester City.

The defender admits a chat last season with manager Brendan Rodgers was the catalyst to his fresh chance.

He told talkSPORT: “A lot of good things going on, obviously. Brendan Rodgers found a good way to compensate with all the injuries we had and it's simply down to the very good work we do overall.

“It's about communication. As soon as he came in, he made me understand what my role is and I knew that I'm not the oldest yet but I'm not the youngest and it was the time for Ben Chilwell.

“He told me 'you will be my back up if needed and I know I can rely on you'.

“I love Leicester City. I went through the highest highs and the lowest lows and have really connected with the club.

“I'm always here whenever I'm needed and whatever I'm needed for. He knows that and appreciates that."
