Brendan Rodgers breathed a sigh of relief after Leicester City’s 3-0 win over Cambridge United with Jonny Evans suffering only a dead leg.

Rodgers substituted his countryman Evans after just 20 minutes at the Abbey Stadium when the central defender went down unchallenged after playing a pass.

Evans held his left knee and hobbled off to be replaced by Caglar Soyuncu but Rodgers has said it is not a serious problem.

“You try to get out of these games with no injuries but unfortunately Jonny took a knock on the thigh,” the manager said.

“But it’s a dead leg, so it’s thankfully not a thigh strain. It was just a dead leg that was difficult for him.”

Aside from Evans’ knock, there was nothing for Rodgers to be concerned by at Cambridge with his side producing their best display of season, Harry Maguire, Kelechi Iheanacho and Hamza Choudhury sealing the victory.

“I was very pleased,” said Rodgers. “If you watched us over the first few games, you’ll have seen the intensity grown.

“From a technical perspective, the speed of our game is starting to get there.

“I said to the players the other day, the first three weeks is about fitness and getting your feel of the pitch again. But the next three weeks are about strategy and the details and the intensity.

“We had all that, the players were very good. I was very pleased.”
