Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed why Ghana defender Daniel Amartey has been starting games for the club despite criticism from fans.
The Ghana international has been criticized for his inept set-piece defending in recent matches for the club.
However, there has been calls for the exclusion of the Ghana international at the club.
But according to the trainer, the Ghanaian defender has kept his place in the team because he gives everything during matches.
“I thought Daniel was a bit edgy at the beginning, with his passing,” Rodgers said. “What I know with him is he gives everything. With the centre-halves, you’re always looking at the combination, it’s very important. Any team, no matter how successful they are, it’s always built around the two centre-halves, and the boys were solid today. They helped keep the clean sheet.”
The Foxes are battling for relegation this season, sitting on the 19th position with just five points in the Premier League.
