Demarai Gray is one of several Leicester players who might finally get his chance after Craig Shakespeare’s dismissal.
A handful of Leicester City players will be pleased to see the back of Craig Shakespeare.
Shakespeare was sacked yesterday with the Foxes 18th in the Premier League after only one top-flight win this season.
Here are three players who will be hopeful of fresh starts under the new manager…
Demarai Gray
Gray has complained about a lack of first-team opportunities at the King Power Stadium and wanted to leave this summer when Bournemouth came in for him, according to The Mirror.
The 21-year-old winger has only started one league game this season but might now get the platform on which to showcase the form he has shown for England Under-21s.
Kelechi Iheanacho
Shakespeare seemed married to the Shinji Okazaki-Jamie Vardy partnership that led Leicester to the title in 2016.
The 21-year-old showed his predatory potential at Manchester City but needs a run in the team.
Aleksandar Dragovic
Dragovic arrived on loan from Bayer Leverkusen on deadline day, but has played only one Carabao Cup game so far.
The Austrian international has good European pedigree and a foreign appointment might prefer him at centre-back to the rugged style of 33-year-old Wes Morgan.
