Will Alves, just 17, had the opportunity to make his debut for Leicester’s first team against MK Dons on Tuesday. He asked to play for the under 18s the following day, against Wolverhampton, only to suffer a very serious injury.
The midfielder had an incredible tackle from Caden Voice, who received a sending-off order. Watch the video:
