Leicester City defender, Harry Souttar, recently discussed his lack of playing time for the Foxes, expressing his frustrations at only getting one Championship appearance and one League appearance so far this season. Despite this, he seems to understand the reasons behind it and remains committed to fighting for his place in the team.
Souttar acknowledges that the defensive lineup, particularly alongside the talented Mads Hermansen, has been solid and effective in preventing chances and blocking shots. He recognizes that it’s difficult to break into a team that is performing well and has not been suffering from poor defending or goals in open play.
The towering defender understands the competition for his position, with established players ahead of him in the pecking order. However, he remains determined to stay and fight for his place, showing his dedication and readiness to perform when called upon.
Despite his limited playing time, Souttar is focused on training hard, maintaining his fitness levels, and waiting for an opportunity to showcase his abilities. He hopes to demonstrate the aerial threat and goal-scoring ability that he has displayed at the international level, and believes he can contribute effectively to the team, especially in set-piece situations.
Souttar’s positive attitude and determination to stay and fight for a place in the team is commendable, and his passion to succeed at Leicester City is evident. It’s clear that he is ready to take on the challenge and prove himself as a valuable asset to the team, with the potential to develop into a more progressive central defender.
