Brendan Rodgers has scrapped plans for a warm-weather training camp due to fears over more fixture congestion.

Rodgers is the latest Premier League manager to recommend abolishing FA Cup replays, as a draw with Brentford on Saturday will wreck Leicester’s mid-winter-break.

Leicester will have no option but to play their replay on either February 4 or 5, days after a league clash with rivals Chelsea, before then returning to action against Wolves on Friday February 14.

The Premier League introduced the ‘winter break’ for this season, but Rodgers is unhappy with the schedulers as his players will have little time off to recharge following a hectic festive period.

When asked if he was considering a warm-weather camp for February, he said: “We couldn’t plan one because of the possibility of the replay.

"I think, ideally, there wouldn't be a replay, you would finish it there and then with a penalty shoot-out.

“If we’re playing a replay, we’re playing a replay. It will just diminish the time they can recover. We have our own internal plan so the players will get some recovery.
