A clear affront to Foxes coach Claude Puel. He claimed to have sought the interview this week with his keeper and vice-captain. Everything was so bad, the Frenchman said. Really? The fact is, flattery is not the only player who seems to have lost confidence in the Frenchman. Earlier, star striker Jamie Vardy commented negatively on Puel’s style of play. At the end of last season there were rumors that Puel would not have the cabin on his side and also in the current season Puel would probably have been dismissed, the club would not have overshadowed the helicopter crash, the club boss Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha be Lost life. The Foxes have been without victory for five Premier League games (0-1-5). Last time there was a longer dry spell for Leicester in October 2017 with six winless games.
