BREN STANDS BY DECISION

- By NEIL MOXLEY

BRENDAN RODGERS sacrificed a Champions League spot to crack down on four of his errant Leicester City stars – and insists he’d do it again.

The Foxes’ chief (below) returns to the London Stadium tomorrow night, four months after a crucial clash against West Ham which was played out against the backdrop of a breach of Covid protocols.

Four of his players – James Maddison, Ayoze Perez, Hamza Choudhury and the sidelined Harvey Barnes – went to a party and three were omitted from the side that lost 3-2 to the Hammers.

Leicester eventually missed out on a place in the top four by just one point but Rodgers said: “Would I do it again? One hundred per cent. We have a standard on and off the pitch which I demand.”
