Brendan Rodgers insists he has lost none of his appetite to manage Leicester as the club begin a European journey they hope will rescue their season.
Rodgers has been under increasing pressure in recent weeks after a run that has brought only one win in six games.
The Foxes face Danish club Randers on Thursday in the play-off round of the Europa Conference League – Europe's new third-tier competition – following their elimination from the Europa League in December.
With Leicester treading water in the Premier League, a long run in Europe could help restore the feelgood factor that has been absent from last year's FA Cup winners this term.
