Brendan Rodgers claims he 'doesn't even know what the Europa Conference League IS' after his Leicester side were dropped to Europe's third-tier competition following shoddy Napoli defeat

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers admitted he does not even know what the Europa Conference League is after blaming 'naivety' and poor defending for his side's costly 3-2 Europa League defeat at Napoli.

The Foxes began the night top of Group C, but they ended it in third place and heading into the lesser Europa Conference League competition after their defeat was compounded by Spartak Moscow's 1-0 win at Legia Warsaw, with the Russian club topping the table ahead of Napoli.

Leicester will now see their European campaign resume in February, instead of March, when they will play one of the eight sides who finished second in the Europa Conference League group stage for a place in the last 16 of that competition.
