Ward hopeful of Leicester recall
Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward hopes that his form during the international break will be enough to see him regain his spot in Leicester’s starting XI against Crystal Palace this weekend.
Ward, 29, helped the Dragons pick up four points in the opening two matches of their 2024 Euro qualifying campaign and kept a clean sheet against Latvia on Tuesday evening.
The seasoned stopper lost his place to Daniel Iversen for the Foxes’ 1-1 draw with Brentford before the break but has presented a case to suggest that he should be reinstated.
He said: “It hasn’t been easy, but it was business as normal for me. Everyone wants to play in the Premier League. It’s massive.
“You have to concentrate on the job at hand. When I am with Wales, it’s 100% with Wales.
“We have got ourselves in a position at Leicester which we are not too happy with. That’s obvious and rightly so.
“We have to go again. We have got 10 games left of the season so we have to give everything to keep the club in the league.
“It’s as simple as that. It will be tough but we have to have a real united front with everyone involved and we will get there.”
McPherson charged for Old Firm ‘headbutt’
Rangers assistant boss Craig McPherson has been charged by the Scottish Football Association after he appeared to headbutt Celtic manager Fran Alonso in the Old Firm derby on Monday
