I know I’m under pressure, admits Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers admits he is under pressure but believes he still has the full support of the club’s board.

The Foxes’ injury-hit squad have struggled this season and criticism of Rodgers and his players increased after Sunday’s disappointing FA Cup exit at the hands of East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.

When asked if he still had the board’s full backing, Rodgers said: “I’ve never felt I haven’t, but I also understand football.

The manager speaks ahead of #LivLei:“When we have the availability of players and the squad is fresh and fit, we have shown we can fight for the top places. This year has been a challenge. We don’t want to accept it, we want to keep fighting and keep pushing.”
