Oh to be one of the Foxes faithful, eh? I bet Hasenhuttl is content with the swaps – and the Blue Army knows exactly why.

It’s fair to say that Jannik Vestergaard’s arrival at Leicester City hasn’t gotten off to the smoothest of starts. After Wesley Fofana’s horrific pre-season injury and Jonny Evans’ plantar fasciitis that troubled him at the start of the season, Leicester needed a new centre back with Premier League experience to help with a struggling backline.

Leicester City have started the new Premier League campaign with two wins out of their first three matches. But many integral players are currently missing through injury. The latest win against Norwich City at Carrow Road has taken away the negativity of the loss against West Ham United.

Three years ago England reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia with one fixed wingback system. There was no alternative, no plan B, and when it came unstuck, as it did against Belgium and Croatia, Gareth Southgate had nowhere to turn. In the intervening period Southgate and his assistant Steve Holland have developed a team with the ability to shapeshift, to confront and confound any given opponent. England could have gone with a back three and wing-backs to match Denmark’s system on Wednesday night, as they did successfully to beat Germany, but here Southgate decided to...
