Redemption for Aleksandar Dragovic against Watford?

When Aleksandar Dragovic made his debut against Watford on the Boxing Day, it was hard to see him lasting too long at Leicester City.

Brought on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, a lot of the fans called for him to be sent back right there, but since his nightmare showing against the Hornets, the improvements have been just as surprising as they’ve been impressive. Speaking of the Austrian, manager Claude Puel said:

"“For Dragovic it was a difficult game for him at full-back,” Puel said of Dragovic’s debut. “It was the first time for him he played there but we didn’t have another solution with Amartey suspended and Simpson injured. “It was not his best position but there was no other solution. He played well in the last game at centre back with strength in the duals, with good concentration and focus. He give a good response in this position. “It is a good thing, good feeling to have four clean sheets in the last games. We must continue this consistency“."
