Following consecutive losses, Leicester City’s players-only meeting was called.
Without manager Enzo Maresca, the team pulled together after losing to Millwall and Plymouth, knowing that three more wins were needed to guarantee promotion.
After losing their last two games in a row, Leicester City’s players met alone to discuss how to turn around the team’s performance and earn promotion.
