“We have a lot of players in this position. It is good competition between them, perhaps a little more because for one or two positions we have six possibilities.
“We have Iheanacho, Islam Slimani, Musa, Shinji Okazaki, Leo Ulloa and Jamie Vardy; it is a lot of players but I hope we can give them good game time for the future because we play every three days.
“It will need all these players with good qualities and attitude.
“They need to work hard in the training sessions to keep a good level. Of course, all the players want game time but the balance is difficult because we have a lot of players in the same position.”
Leicester City are 12th in the Premier League table with 13 points from 12 games.
