(Reuters) - Leicester City are hoping the loan signing of Mali centre back Molla Wague will ease the burden on the underperforming defensive pair of skipper Wes Morgan and Robert Huth at Leicester City, said manager Claudio Ranieri.

Leicester, who only conceded 36 goals as they shocked the soccer world by winning the Premier League title last season, have already shipped 38 in 23 games this term and are 16th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone.
