Brendan Rodgers has stressed Leicester’s determination to “climb the mountain” again this season.
The club’s 2020-21 Premier League campaign saw them finish fifth for a second successive year after dropping out of the top four late on.
They also won the FA Cup for the first time in their history, beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley, and take on Manchester City at the stadium in the Community Shield on Saturday.
Rodgers, who could give run-outs to summer signings Patson Daka, Boubakary Soumare and Ryan Bertrand on Saturday and is without Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans and Timothy Castagne due to injury, was also asked if there was any update with regard to contract talks with Youri Tielemans, scorer of Leicester’s FA Cup final winner.
He said: “Not really. I know the club have spoken to his representatives, I know he’s very happy here. But there’s no further update on anything as of yet.”
Of Saturday’s match, Rodgers said: “I think it’s a fantastic game for us, we’re glad we’re there. It’s a wonderful occasion – Wembley, full house, and with the chance to hold something at the end of it.”
