'I Want to Play': Leicester City's Marc Albrighton Unwilling to Accept Bench Role Under Claude Puel

Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton says he isn't ready to sit on the bench for the Foxes and wants to play as much football as he possibly can.

The 28-year-old was a key component in the squad that won Leicester their first Premier League title in 2016 but hasn't been a regular starter under the French coach this term.

Puel is thought to be looking to revamp the side and wants a more youthful squad for the future. And places of senior figures are now under threat.

The manager hasn't played Andy King or Danny Simpson this season and Christian Fuchs is now behind Ben Chilwell in the pecking order.
