Leicester boss Puel: We must protect Maguire from media gaze

Leicester City boss Claude Puel admits they need to find a way to protect Harry Maguire from the spotlight.

Maguire is still coming to terms with the increased attention being paid to him, admits Puel.

He said: "I have had some discussions with Harry about this, all this attention around him.

"It is crazy. It is the first time for him and he has to manage this attention and to keep a good focus and concentration. It is a new experience for him.

"He is a young player, a fantastic player, but he is a human. He is learning how to deal with it. It is very tough what has happened around him and to manage this for the first time is very difficult but I am happy he is working for the team.

"Myself and the club sometimes have to protect him and help him with all this attention around him."
