Conor Coady on Liverpool, Leicester and That Awful Raúl Jiménez Injury
Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast - A podcast by The Ringer
Today we have current Leicester City player and England International Conor Coady on the podcast! Conor began his professional career at the Liverpool academy eventually playing 2 games for the Reds. After two short spells at Sheffield United and Huddersfield, Conor found himself at the club that would cement himself as one of the brightest English defensive prospects. Wolves would buy Conor for £2 million in 2015 and for 8 years, Conor was the rock of their defensive line, helping the squad reach heights such as The Europa League in the 2019-20 season. Conor has also played 10 times for the 3 Lions, notably at EURO 2020 where, even though he didn’t play, was dubbed “The player of the tournament” by Assistant Manager Steve Holland for his presence in the camp. Now, at Leicester City his one and only aim is to get the Foxes back to the Premier League. In this Episode, we speak to Conor about:
- The current Leicester team and how the new manager has revolutionised the club
- His rise through the ranks of the Liverpool Academy
- His time at Liverpool rivals, Everton
- The mental toll of Raul Jiminez’ injury on him and the squad
