Leicester City manager Brendan Rogers has strongly defended Ghana defender Daniel Amartey following criticisms from fans of the club.
Amartey has come under scrutiny following his uninspiring performance for the Foxes this campaign despite making seven appearances.
Leicester have struggled in the new season, and currently are 19th on the Premier League table. The 2016 Premier League champions have already conceded in 24 goals in the ongoing season.
“I thought Daniel was a bit edgy at the beginning, with his passing,” Rodgers said after the draw against Crystal Palace.
“What I know with him is he gives everything. With the centre-halves, you’re always looking at the combination, it’s very important. Any team, no matter how successful they are, it’s always built around the two centre-halves, and the boys were solid today. They helped keep the clean sheet,” he added.
Meanwhile, Amartey, is expected to be named in Ghana’s Black Stars squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
