The Leicester City player who has been handed more Premier League minutes than anyone else has been revealed.
Some players are guaranteed to play more than others For example, unless injured, Mads Hermansen starts every game.
What seems apparent throughout the season though is that Steve Cooper and Ruud van Nistelrooy both have their favourites – as proved by the outfield player who tops the leaderboard for minutes played.
Victor Kristiansen has had more minutes than any of his teammates
Victor Kristiansen has been a mainstay in the Leicester first-team this season.
Given the lack of options in the left-back role, only Luke Thomas and James Justin could be seen as viable candidates to replace the Denmark international.
But, according to The Athletic, Kristiansen has been given 2,282 minutes of action – more than any of his other teammates.
| Player | Minutes Played |
| Victor Kristiansen | 2,282 |
| James Justin | 2,281 |
| Jamie Vardy | 2,236 |
| Wout Faes | 2,091 |
| Mads Hermansen | 1,936 |
Both Cooper and Van Nistelrooy wanted to bolster the left-hand side of defence in the two transfer windows and given that Kristiansen has disappointed for large parts of the campaign, it feels like it’s been due to a lack of competition.
James Justin was just a minute behind Kristiansen with 2,281 minutes of action whilst 38-year-old Jamie Vardy completes the top three.
Wout Faes is fourth and then Hermansen, despite hie two-month spell out injured, features in the top five.
Victor Kristiansen could leave Leicester this summer
Even though the Foxes could still remain in the Premier League, a summer overhaul is required.
Several Leicester players are expected to leave at the end of the season and the Denmark international is one that could be in contention.
Sadly, the 22-year-old is one of the Foxes players who hasn’t been good enough but given his impressive form for Bologna in the 23/24 campaign, his stock will still be high enough to attract interest from clubs around Europe.
