Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says he "had no strength" after contracting the coronavirus in March.

Rodgers is the second Premier League manager to confirm he has had Covid-19, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also testing positive in March. .

The 47-year-old says he suffered with "breathlessness" before fully recovering from the virus.

"I could hardly walk and it reminded me of walking up Mount Kilimanjaro," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

"We had a week off when we were supposed to play Watford [14 March] and then the week after that, I started to struggle.

"For three weeks I had no smell or taste. I had no strength, and a week after, my wife was the same. We were tested and both of us were detected with the virus."

"For three weeks I had no smell or taste...my wife was the same.

To be fair, we knew Brendan and his wife had no taste when they had this put up in the entrance hall of their home...

Waiting for us to get the blame on this somehow to block project restart.

Reminds me of our holiday to Egypt in 2009, when we all crapped ourselves inside out three days after arriving.

I remember sitting on the bog and shouting "Help me.... I think I've just shit my soul..."

They managed to both get tested in April? Good for them, shame so many others couldn’t get tested.

Even Cummings and his wife never got a test.

Only because it would have proved they were "allegedly" liars.
