Leicester boss s

Rodgers had a fledgling Coady under his wing when he was in charge at

Liverpool. The centre- back came through the ranks at Anfield before Rodgers sold him to Huddersfie­ld in 2014. He has since been called into the England side.

Rodgers, who will come up against the 27- year- old ( below) tomorrow, said: “It’s been so refreshing to see a young player progress like he has.

“I’m so pleased for him. He was a youngster when I went in at Liverpool but he had a fantastic attitude. “I followed his career to Huddersfie­ld and his transforma­tion going to Wolves. Conor has a wonderful football brain. Football is his passion. I was delighted he got his England call.”
