Brendan Rodgers wants Leicester City to offer Christian Fuchs a new contract.

The 33-year-old is out of contract in the summer and has been a bit-part player under Rodgers, having made 14 appearances this season.

But Rodgers understands the Premier League winner's importance to his squad.

He said of the Austrian: "I've loved having him about and working with him and it's a conversation that we'll have.

'He knows he won't play as much but he knows my trust in him. He knows the game, he's very good tactically in the game and can play a couple of positions so he offers us great cover.

"I think he's really enjoying his football this year. He's trained so well. He's always been clear on his role.

"Christian is the type where clarity really helps him. He knows where he's at and when I need him he's always ready. We will see how things go over the following months."
