Kasper Schmeichel's Leicester future in doubt after Brendan Rodgers dropped his captain to the bench in five-goal win at Watford... with chiefs eyeing Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez as a potential long-term successor

Kasper Schmeichel will return to the Leicester team for Thursday’s clash at Chelsea but faces an uncertain future with the club seeking a long-term successor to the Dane.

The club captain was left out in favour of Danny Ward for last weekend’s 5-1 win at Watford and Sportsmail understands the Foxes are strong admirers of Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Sanchez has three years left to run on his current contract and Brighton are likely to place a huge price tag on the Spaniard, which may put him out of reach of all but the wealthiest clubs this summer.
