The performance of Cesare Casadei, Ben Nelson, and Tom Cannon in Leicester City’s 3-2 victory over Millwall, as well as the overall team display, and the significance of the FA Cup this season were the main talking points. Enzo Maresca admitted that Wilfred Ndidi’s absence may linger until April and emphasized that new signings were not feasible unless the club made sales. This places Cesare Casadei in a position to step up and take on a more prominent role. He delivered with a well-played performance, showcasing his physicality and tactical understanding, and proving himself as a crucial asset to the team. Ben Nelson, the youngest player on the field, also made his first start for the club and displayed maturity and adaptability in his position, earning praise from Maresca, who seems determined to help him reach his full potential. Despite a heavy rotation in the squad, the team lacked control during the match, revealing areas for improvement as they advance in the competition.
