Brendan Rodgers confirms Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans were left out of Leicester's team to face Southampton because they're 'not in the right frame of mind' - with both facing uncertain futures

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans have been left out of the team to face Southampton as they're not in the right frame of mind, amid reports linking them away from the club.

The pair both started in last week's loss to Arsenal but neither are in the team for the visit of Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

Fofana, who has been linked heavily with Chelsea, was not in the squad at all, while Tilemans had to settle for a place on the bench.

When asked about the changes, Rodgers told Sky Sports: ‘One, a change in system and two, I mentioned in the week, we’re coming into a Premier League game and maybe we’ve got players who are maybe not quite in the right frame of mind.
