Patson Daka Benched For the First Time in Leicester City’s Win Over Sheffield Wednesday

Patson Daka found himself on the bench for the first time since his full debut in December as Leicester City secured a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.

The Zambian international has been a standout performer for the Foxes in the Championship this season, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists in just 10 games, mostly as a starter. His remarkable form earned him the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month award for December.

However, manager Enzo Maresca opted for the experience of Jamie Vardy in Tuesday’s match, with the seasoned striker netting Leicester’s second goal before being substituted for Thomas Cannon in the second half.

Despite not featuring in the game, Daka remains a crucial player for Leicester. Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations with Zambia, he has continued to impress, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist in his 3 starts.

With a pivotal encounter against Middlesbrough approaching on Saturday, Daka will be eager to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup and maintain his impressive scoring form.
