Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits his side must face Chelsea without Jonny Evans for a second time in a week.

The Foxes claimed the FA Cup trophy without Evans, defeating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley thanks to a Youri Tielemans goal.

The 33-year-old will not be ready as the two teams meet on Tuesday night in what is essentially a Champions League-place playoff.

Rodgers told reporters: "He won't play in the game. He'll struggle for that.

"We'll see what he's like for the weekend."

Asked about other injury concerns, Rodgers replied: "Nothing to report at the moment.

"It's only the second day after the game so we'll see how they are after we get them moving."
