Leicester travel to Tottenham for a season-defining semi-final having endured a turbulent season off the field

“It’s not the first time we’ve had a change in manager. We’re in ­football, it’s a business, it happens ­everywhere,” says the Leicester captain, Aileen Whelan, in a matter-of-fact way.

“It’s just another day at work. The focus stays the same, at training, at the gym. It has been tough, don’t get me wrong, but that doesn’t take away from what we do at the weekend.”
