Jannik Vestergaard: Leicester City defender thankful for fresh start under Enzo Maresca

Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard says he is determined to repay Enzo Maresca for resurrecting his career.

The 31-year-old failed to make a Premier League appearance as the Foxes were relegated last term, and was banished by ex-boss Brendan Rodgers after criticising him in an interview.

Vestergaard has played in 16 of their 17 league games this season, helping them to the top of the Championship.

"He [Maresca] has given everyone a fresh start," Vestergaard said.

"He has shown me a lot of trust, I've gained a lot of confidence and I'm trying to pay it back.
