God bless Wes Morgan and everything he stands for. The Leicester captain and Jamaican national team defender cemented his spot as a legend after it was announced in The Sunday Gleaner that Morgan partied too hard in the wake of LCFC's odds-eviscerating Premier League championship. So much so, that it caused him to have to sit out of Jamaica's Copa America opener against Venezuela tonight. The league finished almost a month ago, people!The unsung hero on the day, however, is hands-down the Jamaican national coach, who is somehow understanding of the situation."Our team is complete. Wes Morgan has come, but he is tired; that is clear. All week, he has not trained. He partied in London and Thailand, but I am very happy he is here and maybe he can help in the second match, but not the first match because it is too difficult," he told The Sunday Gleaner.Here's a photo of Morgan visiting the Emerald Buddha Temple in Bangkok, Thailand on May 19, wearing some comfortable hangover shades:You know you're on top when you show up to a major international tournament, hungover for a week solid, and your coach is still happy to have you. Legend.
