Enzo Maresca: Leicester City boss hails impact of 'best two guys' Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton

Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca believes veterans Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton can play an important role as examples to their young team-mates.

Vardy, 36, was a 76th-minute substitute as City beat Cardiff, and Albrighton, 33, came on with three minutes left.

Yet Maresca singled them out as the 'best two guys' as the Foxes maintained their 100 per cent start to the season.

"They play 10 minutes, 20 minutes and they showed how big they are," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

"It's very important for me to have players like them as an example for the young players Wanya (Marcal-Madivadua), (Cesare) Casadei, Luke (Thomas), (Kasey) McAteer, Callum (Doyle)," Maresca added.
