Ruud van Nistelrooy clashes with Leicester players after seventh defeat

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy confronted his players following a disheartening 2-0 defeat to Fulham, marking their seventh consecutive loss in the Premier League. Van Nistelrooy's frustration particularly targeted Facundo Buonanotte, who struggled as a substitute, losing possession nine times in just 16 touches. This clash reflects growing tensions within the squad, as senior players previously held an inquest after a similar loss to Crystal Palace. The situation has escalated amid Leicester's precarious relegation battle, with the team currently sitting 19th in the league. Van Nistelrooy's tenure has seen only two wins out of ten matches, leading to dissatisfaction over transfer activity and team performance. The upcoming fixtures against Tottenham, Everton, and Arsenal are crucial as Leicester seeks to reverse its fortunes.
