Leicester City fans have had a quiet weekend with no game to worry about thanks to the FA Cup.

The Leicester City faithful have watched their side lose 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and co. are also out of the FA Cup already after Harry Maguire’s offside goal for Manchester United in the fourth round.

But there’s still plenty of news for Foxes fans to sink their teeth into over the weekend as we look toward March.

With that said, here’s all the latest Leicester news coming out of the King Power Stadium this weekend.

Jeremy Monga scores for England’s U16s

Jeremy Monga is one of the most exciting talents to come out of the King Power in several years.

Still only 15, he’s yet to make his senior debut for the Foxes but clearly has a very bright future.

Van Nistelrooy has praised Monga, labelling the teenager ‘vital’ to Leicetser and their long-term plans.

Fans are no doubt keen to see the youngster line out for their team at senior level.

While that’s yet to happen, Monga has impressed for England’s U16s this week, scoring a sensational goal against Colombia.

What Jamie Vardy did vs West Ham

Leicester were beaten 2-0 by West Ham on Friday evening, leaving them five points adrift of Wolverhampton Wanderers with no games in hand.

It was a disappointing performance at both ends of the pitch, with the majority of the eleven not looking anywhere close to their best.

While it wasn’t noticed by many, Jamie Vardy did something out of character against the Hammers, with the striker jogging back to the half-way line at a key point in the game when Facundo Buonanotte needed options.

It’s not something we see often from Vardy, who has given so much to Leicester in the last 13 years.
