Ranieri to ‘rotate’ players against Chelsea

  Leicester City  manager  Claudio Ranieri has revealed he is planning to rotate his team against  Chelsea  today.

“It will be another tough match,” he told Leicester’s official website. “Antonio Conte has changed the shape of Chelsea so we have to fight.

“We have to think about two matches – Chelsea and Copenhagen – so I must rotate my players because it’s important to fight in every match 100 per cent.


“It is important because my players come back two or three days before the Chelsea match. That’s not easy for me and it’s not easy for Antonio Conte, but that is football,” he added.


Leicester shocked the Premier League elite last term but have failed to make an impact against the division’s biggest sides in the early stages of the current campaign.

But Ranieri has urged his players to remain united as they aim to claim a major scalp in west London. “For us, it’s important to stay together. I want to see how my players react,” Ranieri insisted. We lost against Liverpool and Manchester United and now arrives another big team. We drew just against Arsenal, so now I want to see how we react.”
