Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has praised his team for showing toughness and togetherness in the past few weeks.

The Foxes have not enjoyed the best of seasons, and are a far cry from their usual Premier League position of vying for European places.

However, they are now preparing for a Europa Conference League last-16 tie against French side Rennes.

"We want to finish as high as we can in the Premier League and go as far as we can in this competition," said Leicester manager Rodgers pre-game.

"We're starting to see that toughness in the team and that togetherness."

"It's been our season, right the way through with injuries and unfortunate circumstances," Rodgers added.

"So he's [Wesley Fofana - COVID positive] not going to be able to feature tomorrow, but we're hoping for the weekend now."
