The Foxes' use of advanced sports science methods, such as cryotherapy chambers, has contributed to the champions using fewer players than any other Premier League club.
SPECIAL REPORT
It's been a season of plaudits for Leicester City — a side that has completed the most unlikely Premier League title win in history. Such successes don't just happen overnight, though, and while the impact of once-derided manager Claudio Ranieri can't be overstated, the foundations for something remarkable were present at the King Power Stadium long before the 64-year-old Italian's arrival.
There has been richly deserved praise for the scouting department headed up by Steve Walsh, a team that identified France as a fertile breeding ground for footballing talent and subsequently acquired N'Golo Kante and PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez for fees considered minimal by Premier League standards.
