City’s England left-back conveyor belt

Having produced Ben Chilwell, who may have been England’s starting left-back at the World Cup this summer, if not for injury, and Luke Thomas, who is a regular in the position for England Under-21s, City seem to have a knack of developing players in that particular role. Their latest is Mirsad Ali.

 

He was named in the Guardian’s annual Next Generation list as the young City player to watch, and it seems he’s caught the eye of England selectors too. Ali, from Braunstone, made his debut for the country’s Under-17s at the end of last month, playing all three games as they secured their place in the elite round of qualifying in the spring. Success there will earn them a spot at next summer’s Euros in Hungary.

City’s academy has enjoyed great success in recent years – they’re on a 198-game streak with at least one locally-raised homegrown player in the matchday squad – and Ali seems to be another to keep an eye on. At home, the 16-year-old is part of City’s Under-18s side.

....we have pulled the majority of the quality out of this team to the U21s!!!

Good to see a formation of 2 upfront. It would be a radical (for us) to set us as the first team and for the U21s to do the same. It needs to be a conveyor belt, but we either seem to think we need to develop players where we move them all over the pitch for their education.

  The best Rugby team in Britain is Saracens, despite us being champions last season, but they have a setup where if someone drops out of the first team someone comes in and knows the drill and it is seamless. There is a lot of talk about fine margins, and we need to get ahead of the opposition. by the way we approach the way this club develops, and not continue to follow what everyone else is doing.

Double blow for Leicester City defender as surgery puts January transfer on hold
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Iestyn Hughes is set for surgery on a serious knee injury


ByLuke PawleyMidlands Football Writer
15:31, 6 DEC 2022
 

Young Leicester City defender Iestyn Hughes requires surgery on a serious knee injury.

The 20-year-old full-back, who is capable of playing on either side of the defence, joined City in the summer of 2021 after leaving Manchester United. He arrived on a three-year deal and went straight into what was then the under-23s set-up.

After becoming an integral member of the development squad over the past 18 months, Hughes has now suffered his first major injury setback during his time at the club.

 

The Wales under-21 international will be out of action for several months and plans for a loan move next month have subsequently been shelved, LeicestershireLive understands.

The news comes as a blow to both club and country, with the UEFA Under-21 Euros coming up in 2023. A loan move would have also marked Hughes' first taste of senior club football.

Former United man Hughes has made 10 appearances for the under-21s this season across Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy. He has been competing with fellow full-backs Joe Wormleighton and Shane Flynn for a starting shirt.

Hughes' fellow Welshmen at Leicester City, Oli Ewing and Chris Popov, are also currently sidelined through injury.

Got the Porto game coming up on 19th, day after world cup final and day before our MK game which might well have a fair few of the lads featuring in the squad.


Was originally postponed but back on now. I'm quite surprised it's not been cancelled until the new year to be honest, doubt we will be fielding a competitive side and surprised they can be arsed to shlepp over here a few days before Christmas.

'Fantastic' Leicester City goalkeeper 'frustrated' by lack of loan action
The 20-year-old has only played once on loan at Notts County this season, but he has been praised for his attitude in training and the competition he is providing


ByJordan Blackwell

Up-and-coming Leicester City goalkeeper Brad Young has been praised for his attitude despite his frustration at his lack of opportunities on loan at Notts County.

Young, 20, moved to Meadow Lane at the start of the season but has played just once, in the shock FA Cup defeat to Coalville Town, who ran out 3-2 winners. In the National League, Young is yet to feature, and with only five players allowed on the bench, he’s only been in the squad once.

Sam Slocombe has started all 21 games so far, and his form, with nine clean sheets helping the Magpies into top spot, means Young is having to be patient. The 34-year-old has praised his understudy though, and knows he cannot afford to relax.

 

"I think first and foremost what you need to know about Brad is that he is disappointed about not playing many games,” Slocombe told NottinghamshireLive. “If we're honest, he probably came here wanting to play football and improve his experience.


“He is in a position where he hasn't had those opportunities as much as he wants, but the biggest thing is that his demeanour, his attitude and what he brings every day to the training ground is huge. I think what he has brought is somebody to provide massive competition not only for myself but for Tiernan [Brooks, third-choice keeper] so that has helped them and has improved their levels collectively.

“I am not daft enough to know, I have been in this game long enough to know if you're not at it and focused, you are not going to be in the team for that long. So, whether it be Brad or Tiernan, if they're on it and I am not, I am not going to last that much longer in the team.”

Young was City Under-23s’ first-choice goalkeeper last season, playing 19 of 26 Premier League 2 matches. He still returns to City occasionally during the week to train alongside goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell and senior keepers Danny Ward, Daniel Iversen, and Alex Smithies.

Slocombe said Young is feeling more confident in City sessions as a result of his work at Notts County. He said: “The competition [Young] brings is huge. I know he is only young but I will ask him questions about what they do at Leicester and the keepers that he works with because they have really good experience.

“I will be asking him questions and he will be asking them back, and the biggest thing for me is that despite having frustrations of not playing here, he's coming back from sessions he is doing with Leicester and saying the work we are doing here is helping him feel more comfortable and better in the sessions going there because of the information he is taking on here.

“I know for a fact he will be frustrated he is not playing games, but he has been fantastic. It has been a fantastic learning experience for him, and I hope it does pay dividends for him in the future.”

Great ability, I watch this lad every week and he's insane but can't move without doing tricks and skills. If he stopped and did them now and again he would be a great asset.

Hopefully he gets the right coaching to not end up as the next Hachim Mastour
