Vestergaard at the top of his game as he fights for his spot at Leicester

The Danish center-back found himself on the bench as manager Steve Cooper opted to give summer signing Caleb Okoli his Premier League debut.

since the start of last season, the defender has played every game in which he has been available which has triggered many to suggest it is the changing of the guard for the Foxes as Cooper bring in a more youthful centre back. 

Vestergaard told Danish media he was in great shape and ready to play as he looks to fight to win his spot back in the side. 

“It is a completely natural thing that there is competition for the places and that the coach has a choice to make. I was available and I am available. I am both when I start and when I am on the bench. 

“But I'm in good shape. I actually feel better than ever before. I don't have an answer to your question in relation to the explanation, but I am available.” 

Conor Coady is also now fully fit which means the Danish star will have a lot of competition for his spot as Leicester face Crystal Palace this weekend.
