After losing their first game under Brendan Rodgers, Leicester have pulled off three-straight Premier League victories to claw their way just three points behind Wolves for a likely Europa League place with six games left to play.

On Friday, ahead of their clash away at Huddersfield, talented on-loan midfielder Youri Tielemans explained how life at Leicester has been different under Brendan Rodgers.

“(Rodgers) is a really open-minded manager, you can talk to him, whatever question you may have, you can ask him,” Tielemans told Sky Sports.

“And that is really positive for us because a lot of players were confused about what was going on.

“The barrier of the language was there (under Puel), so it was a bit difficult.

“Sometimes people did not understand what the gaffer wanted. I spoke French with him, so it was easier, but now it is easy for everybody.

“Everything is clear now, (Rodgers) wants to play offensive and attacking, but you do not have to forget about the defensive part, and everybody is doing his job and we are progressing as a team.”
