Leicester City defender Jannik Vestergaard made headlines when he brought his beloved dog to training.
His loyal companion, Brady, a striking Eurasier, roamed the pitch and stunned the club’s staff. This unusual move sparked immediate chatter among fans and critics.
At the Seagrave training base, everyone noticed Brady strutting around as if he belonged on the field. Supporters flooded social media with comments about the playful canine. The incident quickly became one of the season’s most talked-about moments.
Vestergaard lives in London and commutes daily to the East Midlands for training. The club provides him with top-notch, first-floor accommodation at the training centre. This five-star facility also hosts guests from the Srivaddhanaprabha family.
On one occasion, a family emergency forced Vestergaard to seek help when his loved ones flew out of London. He asked a player liaison officer to care for Brady during training. Teammates arrived to find the dog casually strolling the pitch.

The Danish defender joined Leicester City in August 2021 after transferring from Southampton for around £15 million. He has since played under Brendan Rodgers, Dean Smith, Enzo Maresca, Steve Cooper, and Ruud van Nistelrooy. His journey reflects both his commitment and the club’s evolving tactics.
Brady frequently appears in Vestergaard’s Instagram posts, showcasing their strong bond. They even traveled together by plane during the 2018-19 season. This off-field connection adds a personal touch to the football narrative.
Vestergaard has experienced tension with management before. He notably refused a handshake with Ruud van Nistelrooy after a 2-0 loss to West Ham. Such incidents fuel the drama of an already intense season.
Leicester City now confronts a challenging campaign with 11 Premier League rounds remaining. The Foxes have won just four of their 27 matches and sit 19th in the table. Fans worry about potential relegation as the season nears its conclusion.
