Down to Ten Men

A supercharged Filbert Way watched on as Leicester City were held to a 1-1 draw by AS Roma on Thursday night in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League Semi-Finals, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of next week's visit to Italy.

The return of striker Jamie Vardy headlined City's team news, with the Club's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer starting for the first time since March having missed out due to a knee complaint. He was one of four changes to the XI, with Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans and Marc Albrighton all returning for a big first leg fixture in Leicester.

Italian football club Inter Milan are preparing to offer Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar a new deal according to the latest reports emanating from the media in Italy.

Brazilian defender Danilo has been offered a new contract at Italian football club Juventus according to the latest news emanating from Italy. The utility defensive player is said to have been given a two-year contract extension to take his time with Juventus until the 2025/26 season.

The Italian football duo of Lazio and Hellas Verona are preparing for a battle in the quest to sign highly rated defender NicoloCasale. 24-year-old Casale is on a season-long loan deal at Hellas Verona from parent club AS Roma having joined at the start of last season.

One of the reasons why DusanVlahovic made the step up from Fiorentina to Juventus last month was to play Champions League football and he had a first taste when the Old Lady travelled to face in-form Spanish La Liga team Villarreal in their last 16 first leg clash at the El Madrigal on Tuesday night. Vlahovic was named in the starting line-up for the game and it took him just seconds to make his mark.

Vlahovic showed why he's one of the best young strikers in world football when he found the back of the net in 32 seconds after receiving a long ball from Danilo in the Juventus defence. The Serbian international shot into the back of the net on the half-turn after bringing the ball from Brazil international Danilo down on the touch. It was a dream start for the player who was still on the books of fellow Italian football team Fiorentina around a month ago.

Italian football giants Juventus have some ideas on how to replace Argentine forward Paulo Dybala who's time at the club might be coming to an end. The Argentine international has six months left on his current contract with the Italian football team and the latest reports coming out of the media in Italy claimed that the player has not reached an agreement with the Old Lady and he could leave the club in the summer when his contract ends.
