(Reuters) - Leicester City's performance in Thursday's 1-1 draw with AS Roma in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final will boost their confidence ahead of next week's reverse fixture, manager Brendan Rodgers said.

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini put his team ahead in the 15th minute before Gianluca Mancini scored an own goal in the 67th minute, sending in a cross from Leicester's Harvey Barnes after coming under pressure from Ademola Lookman.
