Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers insists Leicester have enough strength in depth to cope with the absences of both Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi who are out due to injury

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers is confident his squad is strong enough to cope with the absences of Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi.

Both players are set to be out for around another two weeks, during which time the Foxes will play four Premier League matches, including hosting Liverpool at the King Power Stadium, and their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Brighton.

Rodgers said on Friday that Vardy is progressing well and 'on schedule' following his hernia operation. The club's top goalscorer underwent surgery last week, having been battling the problem for months.
