James Maddison among Leicester players dropped for Covid-19 breach

Three Leicester players, including England midfielder James Maddison, were dropped for the 3-2 defeat at West Ham for breaching Covid-19 protocols.

Manager Rodgers added that all three will be in contention for next Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.

"We're a club that has a set of values. If we fall below that, then there is always a consequence," he said.

The Foxes boss told BBC Match of the Day that a punishment was needed "otherwise players don't learn".

He added: "There is no animosity, nothing like that, but we have a value to how we work on a daily basis and how we prepare for games.
