The Story in 60 Seconds

The72's James Ray argues that Leicester City should consider recalling 20-year-old midfielder Michael Golding from his loan spell at Shrewsbury Town in January. Golding joined the League Two side late in the summer window on a senior loan, but he has struggled to secure consistent playing time under manager Gavin Cowan, totaling just 115 minutes of league action so far.
