Leicester City defender Jannick Vestergaard is baffled by his omission this season.

The Danish defender, who arrived from Southampton last year, has only pulled on a Leicester jersey 10 times and has revealed that he has "no idea" why he's been dropped by the Welsh manager.

The centre-back told BT: “I must honestly admit that I don't know what has happened. I came back to the club after the summer holiday and after two international games for Denmark with wins over Austria and world champions France.

"I spoke to the club and got the clear impression that they were happy with me and that we will start from scratch in the new season and I would be given the same chance to play as everyone else. But when the league started, I was suddenly completely outside and have only started one cup match, where I played well and kept a clean sheet.

"Afterwards, I was on the outside again."

He is adamant that he is still happy at the club and believes he can make a difference when called upon. He also confirmed that he is fit enough to take to the pitch for the side.

He continued: "I work hard in training, where things are actually going really well for me and I still believe that I will get the chance. I am completely ready if the manager chooses to use me and my qualities.

"I am in good physical shape and believe that I could help the club get back on track and out of the difficult situation in terms of results."
