Leicester City have lost the least time in injuries

Luck has played an important role in helping the Foxes to the title. Leicester remained without too many injury concerns throughout the season, which was helped by the fact that they had relatively early exits from both the Capital One Cup and the FA Cup, which enabled the team to keep their attention on the league alone.

In comparison, most of the big clubs had to cope with at least one long-term injury throughout the season. Most of the big clubs had Champions League commitments, which caused the participating players to play continuously and vigorously.

In that time, the Leicester players had all the time to rest and prepare for the upcoming fixtures without a hitch. Then there are Thai monks who, according to some have given Leicester a spiritual edge, which has helped them to stay focused and achieve calmness.

No team has the same fitness levels of Leicester, since the Foxes lost the least amount of time to injuries in the league. They have had the least number of changes to the starting XI, and still managed to stay strong. This feat is truly remarkable.
