Brendan Rodgers outlines midfielder plan as rule change confirmed for Leicester City vs Roma

Here’s the latest Leicester City news on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.

UEFA have confirmed that VAR will be used in both legs of the Europa Conference League semi-final as Leicester City look to make further history in the competition.

Wins over Danish side Randers, French side Rennes and Dutch side PSV Eindhoven have seen City make it to their first ever European semi-final. A 2-1 away win over PSV earlier this month set up a semi-final clash vs Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma.

The Italian giants visit the King Power Stadium on Thursday night with the return leg seeing City travel to Rome a week later. The winners of the tie will face either Marseille or Feyenoord in the final of the competition in Tirana, Albania on 25 May.

Sammy Braybrooke could take the same route as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as Leicester City look to prepare the midfielder for the first team.

Braybrooke is one of the most promising talents in City’s academy, and has played an integral role for the Under-23s this season as well as captaining the Under-18s in their run to the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals. That has earned him first-team recognition, and the 18-year-old was included in Brendan Rodgers’ squad for both legs of the Europa Conference League quarter-final against PSV Eindhoven.

That experience was to help Braybrooke get used to a first-team environment as the club set out a pathway for him. The next step is a loan spell, says Rodgers, who was at Seagrave to watch Braybrooke and the Under-23s as they lost their penultimate Premier League 2 fixture 4-0 to Liverpool on Monday night.
