According to reports from England, Leicester City senior players were bemused with the coach’s decision to start Musa in their 2-1 Champions League loss to Sevilla on Wednesday, February 22.
Leicester City senior players were surprised when Musa started the first leg second round game instead of the in-form Demarai Gray.
These concerns were expressed in a meeting arranged by Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha after the game.

Several other decisions of Ranieri have been constantly questioned by the players this season.
Musa joined Leicester City last summer for a then club record of £16.6m from CSKA Moscow.
He has four goals in 29 appearances so far this season.
