Claude Puel Gives Update on Leicester Defender After Injury in West Ham Clash

Following a dramatic 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday, Leicester City manager Claude Puel has confirmed that Daniel Amartey was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg.

Amartey was carried from the pitch on a stretcher during the latter phases of the match at the King Power, with the 23-year-old requiring oxygen support and a brace for his left leg following a horrific incident in which the midfielder appeared to catch his studs in the turf.

The Ghanaian was playing at right-back on the night, and manager Claude Puel addressed Amartey’s injury after the game.
