Brendan Rodgers hinted Leicester may ask for Tuesday’s Premier League clash at Everton to be rearranged for a second time after he was left with only eight senior outfield players for the FA Cup victory over Watford.
The Foxes are without 17 members of their first-team squad due to injury, illness and international calls – Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Daniel Amartey and Nampalys Mendy are at the Africa Cup of Nations – and have barely 72 hours before they play again at Goodison Park.
The fixture, originally scheduled for December 19, has already been postponed once due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Leicester squad.
