LEICESTER CITY

It took 13 games for Patson Daka to finally make his Championship debut for Leicester City, as he came on as a substitute in the 89th minute of their 1-0 win over Sunderland on Tuesday night. Daka had not played a single minute in the Championship prior to Tuesday, with his only appearance for Leicester City this season being in the Carabao Cup defeat against Liverpool. According to various media reports, Daka has become frustrated with his lack of playing time under Enzo Maresca, particularly after his summer transfer from the club fell through when the Foxes demanded more than what his potential suitors were willing to pay. Daka is Zambia's highest goalscorer with six goals and has been a joy to watch at the international level. However, he has failed to break into Maresca's team, as the manager has consistently preferred Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho over him. Daka came on to replace Stephy Mavididi, who joined Leicester City from Montpellier in July. It will be interesting to see if the Zambian forward receives more playing time in the future. Leicester remains at the top of the Sky Bet Championship with 36 points from 13 games.
