Brendan Rodgers admits losing Jonny Evans for Wednesday's clash with Everton is a 'huge blow' for Leicester City.

The Northern Irish centre-back picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 3-0 win over Brighton on Sunday.

"It's a huge blow when he doesn't play," Rodgers said on Sunday night.

"But we'll have to cope with that like we have done throughout the season with the other players. It's a shame he misses the game."

The Foxes will be hoping to maintain their momentum after moving into third place on the Premier League table with the victory over Albion.
