Rodgers threatened to drop Leicester stars for lack of effort

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has stated he would drop players for a lack of effort. After the Leeds United result, this is who will be dropped.

The gaffer does have an explanation for what is transpiring, but Foxes supporters may not like what they hear. Here is what he said before the Leeds fixture, and what the draw could mean as a result.
