Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added.

Shakespeare signed Iheanacho from Manchester City this season and handed him just his second start of the campaign on Monday. With the 53-year-old, who succeeded title winning manager, Claudio Ranieri last season, gone, Iheanacho and indeed all the players will have to prove to the incoming manager that they are capable of saving the club from the drop.

The 53-year-old joined Leicester in 2011, for his second spell as assistant manager at the club, along with Nigel Pearson and remained in the role when Claudio Ranieri took over in 2016.
He was a key part of the group who won the Premier League that year and took over from the Italian when he was sacked the following February, keeping the job on an initial temporary basis until the end of the season.He was then named permanent boss in the summer, signing a three-year deal, but has now been sacked four months later.
