Brendan Rodgers delivers injury update on Leicester City’s Ayoze Perez

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has provided an injury update on Ayoze Perez ahead of the Europa League round of 32 first leg at Slavia Prague.

The 27-year-old came on in the 74th minute against Liverpool last weekend but was substituted prior to stoppage time with an injury to his left knee.

Ahead of tomorrow’s European tie at the Sinobo Stadium, Rodgers confirmed that the forward is unavailable and will be out of action for a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, Rodgers also confirmed that Ricardo Pereira won’t travel with the team as he has returned from a long injury lay-off and wants to offer him more protection.
