“On Mads, there’s no update. He’ll be out for a bit longer. That won’t change over the coming weeks.”

What this all tells me is that there is a good chance Nick De Marco could have another field day making them look like mugs again

2-0 Palace

1-0 Palace

Never gets injured So we all know what is happening just a couple of weeks after he signs

Gonna be JJ or maybe Hamza at right back All 3 youth right backs are starting tonight for the under 21s…

Starting for the under 21s so looks like no involvement for him tomorrow

No Monga tomorrow then And none of the young right backs being given a go either with all 3 playing!

Tomorrow night after we lose to QPR

Plays both left back and right back so gone for 1 very cheap option as competition for both positions I expect

Okoli Wouldn’t be surprised if we see him gone the other way soon, on loan at least

Yesterdays Result - Thursday 9th January Scottish Prem: Sammy Braybrooke (6.0 - 12 mins) - Dundee 1-1 Rangers

Hopefully the game still goes ahead tonight (so we can get an idea if anyone will be involved tomorrow) Seen a few under 21 games have been postponed already due to frozen pitches

From Ruud’s press conference: PSR? “It was a topic in the conversations before I signed. We’re clear on that. There’s no news on that. I’m focused on getting the right players in and winning.” Club confident on PSR? “I think it’s for the club to comment, but the conversations I had were clear and open. We’re on that page and that process. Nothing has changed.”

Well at least it still sounds like Ruud is expecting some signings… Close to signings? “We’re in the middle of the process. It’s clear where we want to strengthen. We’re working on that day and night. I feel a strong responsibility to get the right players in. It’s a delicate process. It takes time. It requires a lot of effort and work to bring in the right players.” What do you want in window? “We’ve been creating a style of play and players who fit into that are the profiles who can get us to better results. Those are the profiles we have been talking about with recruitment and the people responsible for signing these players. It started in December and hopefully we can present something soon.”

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Pre-Match Press Conference vs QPR Hermansen and Vestergaard? “On Mads, there’s no update. He’ll be out for a bit longer. That won’t change over the coming weeks. Jannik has been assessed and he’s made his steps. We’re looking to get him on the pitch today or tomorrow, but it’s doubtful for QPR.” Any other injuries? “No. McAteer is back in full team training and if he can continue that, he will be available for the game.” Close to signings? “We’re in the middle of the process. It’s clear where we want to strengthen. We’re working on that day and night. I feel a strong responsibility to get the right players in. It’s a delicate process. It takes time. It requires a lot of effort and work to bring in the right players.” What do you want in window? “We’ve been creating a style of play and players who fit into that are the profiles who can get us to better results. Those are the profiles we have been talking about with recruitment and the people responsible for signing these players. It started in December and hopefully we can present something soon.” How important are transfers? “It’s important because of the situation we’re in. It demands we have to do better. It’s development of the current players and if there are players who fit in the picture, and can make the club better in the long term, then we have to do it.” PSR? “It was a topic in the conversations before I signed. We’re clear on that. There’s no news on that. I’m focused on getting the right players in and winning.” Club confident on PSR? “I think it’s for the club to comment, but the conversations I had were clear and open. We’re on that page and that process. Nothing has changed.” FA Cup? “I love the competition. It’s the oldest cup tournament in the world and the most famous one. It’s important to enjoy these games.” Selection? “We’ll address the squad over the coming days. It’s important to keep our development going. We want to break the current run of defeats. We want to play well and gain confidence. Those are things I’m thinking about and then I’ll make decisions about selection.” Magic of the cup? “I’m a proud winner of the FA Cup as a player. I was able to play in two finals. I know how much it meant to me to win it with United. Now there’s no replays, but it’s a fantastic tournament to be a part in.” Take it seriously? “It’s important to take it seriously. We plan to win every game. But we have to look at the condensed schedule. The Premier League games for this club are vital.” QPR? “At the moment of the draw, they were second or third bottom. The current form has been very good, they’ve collected a lot of points. For us it’s a great example of how things can turn. That’s why we’re aware we’re facing a confident side who are keen to do well in this tournament.”

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/09/leicester-face-points-deduction-possible-spending-breach/ Even if relegation is avoided this season, Leicester will return to the model of selling one key player every summer to assist with PSR compliance. Mads Hermansen, the Danish goalkeeper, has emerged as the most likely sale after impressing in the Premier League this season. Rival clubs have been made aware of his potential availability and in the recent 2-2 draw with Brighton, Hermansen was watched by Manchester United’s chief goalkeeping scout, Tony Coton.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/09/leicester-face-points-deduction-possible-spending-breach/ Leicester are not expected to spend large sums of money in the January transfer window. They are keen to end Crystal Palace forward Odsonne Édouard’s loan deal prematurely and the priority signings at this stage are cheap full-backs.
