Under is currently at the King Power Stadium on loan from AS Roma and according to reports they will not be activating their £22 million option to make the move for the Turkish international permanent. The winger has appeared just eight times in the Premier League and his only contribution to date has been two assists, one each in games against Arsenal and Leeds United. Rodgers explained why he has been reluctant to play Under, who has only played 32 minutes of Premier League football since December 16.
Brendan Rodgers said: “With all due respect to Cengo, he’s one who is offensively very good, but doing the other side of it is something he’s not accustomed to, and when you’re playing against a back five with a wing-back who is running, you need to ensure the guy you’re putting on, or starting with, is able to do that work. It’s as simple as that. We felt it was a game where Marc could come in and he can do the work going forward, but you need to have that diligence to do it on the other side, and I thought he came in and did that very well. It’s a new game on Wednesday (against Brighton in the FA Cup), so we’ll see where we are with Cengo there, and all the other players.”
