‘5/10,’ ‘Lethargic,’ ‘Sloppy’: Local media blasts £12 million Chelsea loanee following last night’s performance.
When Cesare Casadei was loaned out to Leicester City in the summer, Chelsea fans were overjoyed.
Unfortunately for the £12 million midfielder (The Guardian), his disappointing start at the King Power Stadium continued yesterday night.
Leicester returned to the top of the Championship standings on Friday evening with a 4-1 victory against Southampton at St Mary’s, confirming their status as promotion favorites.
Cesare Casadei, barely 20, came off the bench for the fourth consecutive league encounter for the Foxes. However, the Chelsea loanee struggled to make the most of his half-hour on the field.

In Casadei’s defense, it must be tough for him to establish a rhythm in his game when he is consistently ignored for the starting lineup.
The Italian teenager is a highly gifted box-to-box midfielder who we believe will be a major impact in the Championship, but he faces a difficult task in breaking into a very good Leicester XI.
On his debut league appearance for the Foxes, he scored the game-winning goal against Cardiff City. However, the manager will not start him in the league.
As the fixtures mount up during a frantic Championship season, Casadei’s opportunities should rise, and he must be ready to grasp them.
The Athletic reported a few months back that Casadei impressed when working with the first squad at Chelsea. Leicester fans would be wise to continue with the young loanee since he has tremendous promise.
