Gokhan Inler ‘must force way’ into Leicester team

Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic has told skipper Gokhan Inler he must force his way into Leicester’s title-chasing team if he wants to go to the Euro 2016 finals.

The 31-year-old midfielder will play no part against either the Republic of Ireland or Bosnia in his country’s friendlies over the Easter weekend after being left out of the squad for the first time in 10 years.

Inler has fallen from grace after making just 10 appearances and only three Premier League starts for the Foxes following his £5m summer arrival from Napoli, and with Claudio Ranieri’s men five points clear at the top of the table, the chances of him breaking into the side look remote.
