Though Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are the headline grabbers for Leicester City this season, the importance of N’Golo Kante in the heart of midfield is without question.
The industrious 24-year old has been a mainstay in the engine room for the Foxes all season, as his dynamism sets the tone for the rest of the team.
Doubts arose of the strength and depth of their squad, with many believing the simply could not cope without either Vardy or Mahrez.
While that’s largely been disproved, with other players such as Leonardo Ulloa stepping up to the mark, it’s really the first time manager Claudio Ranieri has had to deal without his key midfielder.
The news the former Caen ace will face around two weeks out with a hamstring problem has rocked Foxes fans, who are in awe of their workhorse in the middle of the park.
As you might imagine, Leicester’s blow comes much to the delight of Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester City fans, who are still chasing the Foxes atop the Premier League.
