Leicester goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes the club face some tough challenges ahead if they are to keep hold of manager Claudio Ranieri and their top players. The Foxes 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday keeps them five points clear of title rivals Tottenham at the top of the table with seven matches of their season to go.But Schwarzer, who was on the bench at Selhurst Park, feels they may face an even more difficult test in keeping hold of the popular Ranieri and the leading lights at the club next season. Players really like him and really admire him for his passion, dedication and wisdom, Schwarzer said of the Italian on Sky Sports Now. Leicester keeper Mark Schwarzer highlights their defence as the key to their form It is vitally important [for Leicester to keep Ranieri]. He has taken them to a completely different level.There are certain factors Leicester are going to have to deal with at the end of the season.Firstly, the manager, whether he stays or goes. He is at the stage of his career where he may never move on to bigger or better things.He has been mentioned for the Italian job and if that were offered to him, that would be a difficult one to turn down because it is such a prestigious job.He will be key to keeping hold of players such as Jamie Vardy, who has recently signed a new contract, Riyad Mahrez, NGolo Kante, Danny Drinkwater. Phil Thompson on Leicesters win at Palace There will be clubs really starting to take notice of these players and putting them on a list of players they might want to try and sign this summer.Leicester will have to do all they can to hold onto these players and try to build further.Schwarzer feels Ranieri has given fresh hope to players who may not have been given the opportunity to shine in the past.In particular he cited the example of Drinkwater, who was not a regular in the side last season, but who has featured regularly this campaign, earning a call-up to the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands.He has given certain key players confidence and self-belief, added Schwarzer.At the end of last season, Danny hardly played a game, he was on the sidelines, but he has rightly been called up to England because he has been such a key player. He has been mentioned for the Italian job and if that were offered to him, that would be a difficult one to turn down. Schwarzer on Claudio Ranieri Danny is a calming influence on the pitch and has great vision and awareness. Technically he is very good and his array of passing is exceptional but he can mix it with his challenges.Schwarzer also commented on the change of emphasis in recent weeks, that has seen a free-scoring Leicester side win four of their last five matches 1-0.Initially we were playing a lot more open football, we attacked whenever we had the opportunity, said the Australian.That was one of our strengths, the ability to counter-attack very quickly, and that is still one of our weapons.But once we hit that first clean sheet of the season, it cemented the idea that keeping clean sheets is important and is a good foundation to build upon.

After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Cardinals activated All-Star infielder Matt Carpenter from the 15-day disabled list before their game against the Atlanta Braves?on Friday.Carpenter, who is batting .298 with a .988 OPS, has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 7 because of a strained muscle in his right rib cage area. The Cardinals managed to go 14-11 in Carpenters absence, in part due to the increased production from bench players such as Jedd Gyorko, who slugged .648 with eight home runs in 20 games while Carpenter was gone.Weve had some different players step in and do a nice job and just keep playing the game, manager Mike Matheny said. We want all of our guys back. Were excited to have Carp back.Carpenter feels the same and hopes to make a difference foor a team battling to make the postseason.ddddddddddddWere in the dog days of August, and I feel like Im coming out of spring training, Carpenter said. Thats the positive to look at.The Cardinals had Carpenter play both second and third base while on a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield, where he batted .333 with a double and a home run in four games.The idea is to maintain some flexibility so they can adjust their lineups, depending on who is swinging a hotter bat, Gyorko or second baseman Kolten Wong.The team optioned left-handed reliever Dean Kiekhefer to Triple-A Memphis to make room for Carpenter on the 25-man roster.
