They are yet to make a signing in this transfer window but Rodgers said: "The club are working hard behind the scenes in order to do that [sign new players].

"I am sure between the recruitment team and the club as a whole we will get some players in. It's always positive."

He added: "The communication is fine, there is lots of dialogue - I was with them this morning for an hour or so."

Last year the Foxes lost key players, including Wesley Fofana, who joined Chelsea for £75m.

And they have suffered with injuries this season, including James Maddison, who is out with a knee problem.

They currently sit 13th in the Premier League after losing 11 of their 18 games.
