Leicester City Manager Brendan Rodgers has explained that replacing Wilfred Ndidi in the 3-0 disgrace of Arsenal at the King Power Stadium yesterday was purely a tactical move.
Ndidi was at risk of seeing red , after bagging a yellow card in the 13th minute of the explosive match, but was substituted by Rodgers in the second half.
Arsenal are indebted to goalkeeper Bernd Leno for a string of fine saves, the pick a magnificent one-handed diving effort to paw away a Wilfred Ndidi header.
Despite spending only forty five minutes on the King Power Stadium turf, Ndidi racked up a game-high six tackles and also had a joint game-high two interceptions.
