Leicester City's boss has confirmed that Kasper Schmeichel will start for the Foxes against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
The Denmark international had to settle for a place on the bench against Watford as Danny Ward made his first Premier League appearance since joining the club in 2018/19. The Welsh stopper will be back on the bench for the trip to Chelsea, with Schmeichel set to play the final two matches of the season.
Rodgers said in his press conference: "Kasper will play. I said the other day the plan was for Kasper to play in the final two games. Unfortunately, Danny couldn't play against Norwich, but he proved he's an outstanding goalkeeper [vs. Watford]. His stature in goal in the game was excellent. I've told Kasper he will play against Chelsea and Southampton."
