Paul Konchesky is currently on loan to Queens Park Rangers from Premier League side, Leicester City. With his parent club competing for the title, Konchesky has found it hard to get regular playing time with Leicester and has been loan out to the Championship side.
Leicester City has taken the Premier League by surprise and after 24 league games; they have managed to stay in the top.
Claudio Ranieri and his players still aren’t one of the big favorites on actually winning the top tier English League but nonetheless, they are making a genuine charge and have been making a string of impressive performances.
Even though the team of Claudio Ranieri has been outstanding so far in this season, the Italian manager was pretty active in the January transfer window as he signed and added to his squad 5 players.
Claudio Ranieri doesn’t mind if his players show displeasure when they are left out of the starting XI.
It actually amuses the Italian manager as he believes it’s a sign of hunger that the players have in their belly.
Ranieri decided not to play one of his most in-form players Riyad Mahrez in the previous game against Norwich City and according to him, he liked it that the Algerian winger was upset about his exclusion.
Mahrez is, however, believed to be back starting for the Foxes after the international break.
It appeared that Lucas Leiva’s time at Anfield had come to an end when it was reported that the player was discussing a loan move to Besiktas towards the end of the transfer window.
The Brazilian came to Anfield when Rafa Benitez was the manager. Several managers have come and gone since Lucas came to the club. Lucas went from being criticised heavily during his first few years into one of the club’s fan favourites. However, he has once again lost his place in the team and this time around it looks like the nail in the coffin for the 28-year-old.
Leicester City have joined the elite band of clubs to have achieved the great escape after being bottom of the Premier League table on Christmas.
The club’s hopes of staying in the top division appeared to be destined for failure six months ago. However, the club went through an impressive run of form in the final three months of this recent to confirmed their stay with a game left. After suffering a 4-3 defeat against Tottenham towards the end of March, Leicester went on a run of seven wins from nine games to stay in the league.
Nigel Pearson was extremely unhappy with the way Leicester City were not awarded three clear-cut penalties in the recent 2-0 loss against Manchester City.
Bolton Wanderers have suffered a major injury blow after midfielder Mark Davies has been ruled out for up to 4 months with an injury to the knee.
The 26-year-old had just returned from spending around nine months on the sidelines because of a similar injury on his knee last year. Bolton have certainly not had the luck of the injuries. It appeared that Davies was finally putting behind his injury problems of recent years after making 11 appearances so far. He has scored one goal in these matches. Manager Neil Lennon admitted that it was a huge setback for the team.
Leicester City had an excellent start to the life in the Premier League after managing to beat the likes of Manchester United earlier in the campaign. Defender Paul Konchesky says that the club is loving life back in the English top-flight.
