Matchday With The Manager – Stepping Up To The Challenge

The Foxes flew out to Brittany in northern France on Wednesday afternoon in possession of a 2-0 aggregate advantage over their Ligue 1 opponents. Bruno Génésio's Les Rennais, though, are the second highest top goalscorers in France and hit four away at Lyon on Sunday night.

Leicester's performance in the first leg has provided a cushion ahead of the tie's final act at Roazhon Park, but Rodgers has no doubts whatsoever about the scale of the task ahead. Over 24 hours before the Club's 17th European knockout fixture, the Northern Irishman addressed the media in Seagrave.
