Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says that his side's two Champions League clashes with Copenhagen are "very important".

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has said that his side must produce their best performance of the season in their Champions League clash with Copenhagen.

While Leicester have struggled in the Premier League, they have registered back-to-back wins in Europe and another three points on Tuesday night would put them on the brink of qualification for the knockout stages.

While insisting that the team are preparing as normal, Ranieri has called on his team to strengthen their bid to extend their fairytale story of the past 15 months.

The Italian told reporters: "Normal words, normal training. Just recharged, clean the mind and think about the next match.

"The next two matches [in the Champions League] are very important and will tell us what we can do. We must do the best performance of the season. It's very important for us to get three points."

Ranieri has suggested that Shinji Okazaki will return to the starting lineup for the game at the King Power Stadium.
