Claudio Ranieri said that he needs to rotate his squad more, something which saw him nicknamed the 'Tinkerman' in previous years.

Leicester had a settled side in their Premier League title win last season which saw Ranieri go against his 'Tinkerman' nickname.

However, with the Leicester's Champions League campaign, Ranieri said after the Southampton game that he must make more changes.

"I have to think when we play every three days and maybe at the end of the 22 days it was much better to give some rest to some players," he said.

"Southampton played a couple of days after us but they changed seven players and I changed just one. It's not enough but I'm very happy with a point for this reason.

"The international break is here but how many players will rest with me? Six? Seven? The others go for their international matches.

"Then they come back two or three days before Chelsea. After that we have the Champions League. I have to think about it".
