Leicester Loanee Set to Start Against Arsenal in Europa League Despite Falling Out With Manager

Leicester's Ahmed Musa is expected to play for loan club CSKA Moscow against Arsenal on Thursday night, despite a reported fall out with manager Viktor Goncharenko.

The Leicester Mercury report that Musa became involved in the row with his manager after the Nigerian refused to shake his hand after being substituted recently, with the coach reportedly telling the Nigerian that he will "sit on the bench forever".

However, the Belarusian seems to have now softened his stance on the situation.

“Football is, first of all, emotions. If they are removed, it will be a robot competition," he said ahead of the club's UEFA Europa League quarter final second leg against Arsenal, as quoted by the Leicester Mercury.
