Five months ago Yohan Benalouane was in a Leicester Under-23 side that lost to Walsall in the Checkatrade Trophy.
Now he is tasked with shackling Antoine Griezmann in the Champions League quarter-final. But just who is the central defender Craig Shakespeare must rely upon because of injury to Wes Morgan?
Benalouane was bought from Atlanta by Claudio Ranieri in the summer of 2015, a purchase the Italian led. Announced on the same day as N’Golo Kante’s signing, the £5.6million was a modest outlay for the defender but nevertheless began to look a white elephant when Benalouane failed make an impression.
