A knee injury of the worst kind for David Anugo
18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Leicester City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Luke Thomas puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Leicester City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Divine Mukasa, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.90
A mark of 7.90 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Leicester City turn down Accrington Stanley for Josh King
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Leicester City
Jamaal Lascelles was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The crowd has taken to Tommy Watson
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Leicester City see off Norwich City
Three points for Leicester City, 2‑0 the final word against Norwich City in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Words at Leicester City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Skipp is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
