Leicester City’s Marc Albrighton is one of the club’s most underrated stars.

Leicester City need a response at the weekend at home to Huddersfield, after suffering a 4-2 defeat on the road to Bournemouth in their last match.

Manager Claude Puel should consider making a few changes to his starting XI and one man that deserves some recognition is Marc Albrighton.

The 28-year-old is one of the most underrated players at the King Power Stadium and he could improve the side if recalled against Huddersfield.

The winger came off the bench to score a consolation in the Bournemouth loss, while his form of late certainly means he deserves to be ahead of both Demarai Gray and Rachid Ghezzal in the pecking order as it stands.

Albrighton has made five appearances in all competitions so far this season, scoring one goal and supplying three assists in that time.

After playing a key role in the Premier League title win in the 2015/16 campaign, the wide man has continued to be a consistent performer for the Foxes in recent seasons.

Albrighton provides excellent width and crosses into the box, while his tremendous work-rate makes him one of the unsung heroes.

Puel should turn to the English winger – who earns £45,000-a-week, according to spotrac.com – to try help Leicester bounce back from two consecutive defeats.
