Leicester City FC manager, Enzo Maresca, says Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, needs to learn many things as the youngster develops.

He said this in a post game presser after Leicester City lost 2-3 to Coventry City in the Sky Bet Championship.

Issahaku got sent off late in the first half after lunging in dangerously on a tackle; he was shown a straight red card for the tackle and is set to miss three games as a result.

The loss was Leicester’s fourth of the season in 27 games and hold a seven point lead in the league over second ranked Ipswich Town.

Addressing Issahaku’s dismissal, Maresca said, “Abdul is very young. He needs to learn many things. One of the things is he probably needs to be more calm. But it’s part of his process.”

Issahaku, who is on loan from Sporting Lisbon, has impressed during his time with The Foxes; he has two goals and seven assists in 23 league games.

In the lead up to the game, Issahaku had excused himself from getting called up to the 2023 Black Stars AFCON group.
