Former Leicester boss Micky Adams thinks Claudio Ranieri holds the key to the Premier League title race. The appointment of Ranieri was questioned by many last summer but the experienced Italian manager has guided the Foxes to a five-point lead at the top of the table. Seen as possible relegation candidates at the start of the season, Leicester are just nine games from becoming the most improbable of Premier League winners.And Adams, who managed Leicester in the top flight himself during his stint in charge (2002-04), thinks Ranieris coolness under pressure could prove to be a trump card. Mahrez has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season Asked by Sky Sports News HQ if Leicester would go on to win the title, Adams said: Why not?Two things. One, I think the players believe in what they are doing, which is important, and two, I think they have got a belief in Claudio Ranieri.They talk about pressure and it seems to me every other manager has talked about the pressure, but the one person who doesnt show it is Claudio Ranieri, and I think he is going to be key to this.He was not a popular choice among the fans, they werent really sure about him, but what a fantastic job he has done.Adams also thinks Leicester have the seasons best player on their side in the shape of Riyad Mahrez, who made his latest vital contribution when he scored the winner at Watford on Saturday.Asked if Mahrez was the top candidate to be player of the season, Adams said: Hes got to be.There could be a case argued for (Leicester forward Jamie) Vardy also but Mahrez has been outstanding. Not only his contribution in terms of goals but his assists also.There will be a lot of owners looking at their chief scouts and asking how has Mahrez ended up at Leicester? The Foxes do not have another game until Newcastle visit next Monday (14 March), live on Sky Sports 1 HD, and their title rivals have much busier programmes in the coming weeks.I think it is an advantage, said Adams. From the physical side of things, it will help them. If people are carrying injuries, they will have longer to recover from them.Mahrez is key at this moment in time and, if he has got a little hamstring injury (he was taken off at Watford), he will have time to recover from that.I think Leicester will be really refreshed coming into the Newcastle game, which I think will be vital to them.

TORONTO -- Thoracic outlet syndrome has been ruled out for Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, who is currently on the 15-day disabled list with a right neck strain.The 30-year-old pitcher rejoined the team in Toronto after spending time with Dr. Robert Thompson, a vascular surgeon in St. Louis, while undergoing tests and treatment. Zimmermann said that the tests ruled out any nerve damage or vascular issues.Im just glad its not thoracic outlet syndrome, I guess, Zimmermann said before the Tigers game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.Zimmermann sounded relieved, and for good reason considering the rash of other pitchers to suffer with the issue recently. Most notably, Mets pitcher Matt Harvey recently informed the team he was electing to undergo season-ending surgery for TOS. Within the Tigers organization, Drew VerHagen was diagnosedd with the syndrome, though he is currently going through a throwing program that will hopefully allow him to avoid the surgical route.ddddddddddddZimmermann, who is 9-4 with a 3.95 ERA this season for the Tigers, said he will not pick up a ball for another three to four days. Because it has been almost a week since he has thrown last, Zimmermann said he imagines it could take some time for him to build his arm strength back up, but he does not anticipate a lengthy absence from the mound.Its hard to put a timeline on it, but hopefully Ill be back sooner than later, he said.The Tigers are currently without two of the five starters in their rotation; Daniel Norris is also on the disabled list with a right oblique injury.
