(Reuters) - Leicester City's players are feeling "raw" after manager Craig Shakespeare's sacking, but the overall mood is positive ahead of Saturday's Premier League visit to Swansea City, caretaker boss Michael Appleton has said.

Shakespeare was sacked on Tuesday after just four months in permanent charge, although his association with Leicester goes back far longer, having served under former managers Claudio Ranieri and Nigel Pearson.
