Leicester City: Foxes are in 'absolute panic' after sacking Brendan Rodgers, says Chris Sutton

Leicester City are in "absolute panic" after sacking Brendan Rodgers so late in the season, according to former Premier League striker Chris Sutton.

Rodgers was dismissed on 2 April with the Foxes in the relegation zone.

They are yet to appoint a replacement with Dean Smith in talks to take charge after ex-Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was said to have turned Leicester down.

"The owner has made such a mess of this," Sutton said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.

Leicester are currently second from bottom and two points from safety with eight games remaining.
