Brendan Rodgers accepts blame for Leicester's tame Europa League exit at home to Slavia Prague after starting in-form Harvey Barnes on the bench and playing Youri Tielemans out of position

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers took the blame for the Foxes' meek Europa League exit to Slavia Prague.

Second-half goals from Lukas Provod and Abdallah Sima helped Slavia deservedly win 2-0 on the night and on aggregate to reach the last 16.

Rodgers, who was missing the injured James Maddison and banned Kelechi Iheanacho, started with 13-goal Harvey Barnes on the bench with Youri Tielemans in a more advanced position but admitted his decisions failed to pay off.

He said: 'It's my responsibility, I pick the team with the players we have available and clearly it didn't work as well as I would have liked.
