Rodgers’ back pain

BRENDAN RODGERS is poised to ring the changes at the back after admitting Leicester’s defending needs to improve.

The Foxes’ chief is searching for the right blend in his rearguard after Jonny Evans’ aborted comeback scuppered his plans.

The veteran Northern Ireland international lasted just 45 minutes in the Europa League tie against Napoli with a nagging foot injury still troubling him. Rodgers (left) said: “We’ve got to be better defensively in our pressing and be more consistent with it. It needs to improve.

“With Jonny, it’s a case of wait and see. He’s struggling.”
