sdb Posted 16 July 2017 Posted 16 July 2017 Can't really remember us looking decent without Huth, bar the Everton game when we'd won the league (Premier ?) and they had nothing to play for. Evans looking more and more vital to me.

The search for another central defender likely stepped up over a week ago. Shakey also quoted that they feared would be worse and the prognosis is better than expected. trying to avoid paying that extra few million on evans' price!
EnglishOxide Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 That's solved a bit of a dilemma for Shakey in that he won't need to decide between Huth or Morgan to partner Maguire as the new season kicks off.
MC Prussian Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 Robert Huth: Ankle Surgery Sidelines Defender Leicester City defender Robert Huth will miss the start of the Premier League season after undergoing minor ankle surgery. - Leicester City defender Robert Huth undergoes ankle surgery- German defender expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks- Manager Craig Shakespeare says surgery was a success The 32-year-old centre-half has remained in the UK to begin his rehabilitation, while the squad competes in the Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong. He is expected to return to full training in six to eight weeks. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday’s Hong Kong opener against West Bromwich Albion, City manager Craig Shakespeare said Huth’s surgery had been a success. He said: "Robert reported back for pre-season and got into some discomfort with his ankle. He's had an operation and thankfully it was successful. "It's unfortunate for Robert but we thought it might be worse. We're expecting him to be out for around six to eight weeks." Leicester kick-off the new Premier League season on Friday 11 August with a trip to Arsenal. Their Premier League Asia Trophy campaign begins with a game against West Brom at the Hong Kong International Stadium on Wednesday, which kicks off at 1800 local time (1100 BST). The Foxes will then meet either Liverpool or Crystal Palace at the same venue on Saturday. https://www.lcfc.com/news/439414/
lgfualol Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 This could be bad news based on Morgan's performances without Huth.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 Why has he had the operation now ? Surely could have been done just after the season ended.

Stadt Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 I hope he fully recovers and is just as good as before but at his age and his lack of mobility anyway this could severely hamper his defensive ability. We need another long term CB option.

Fox92 Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 Get in another centre half. Can't stand Morgan playing without Huth.
goose2010 Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 probably miss 3 games with the international break if the timings from CS are legit.
Detroit Blues Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 8 weeks puts him out through huddersfield (5 matches). What's the status of Morgan? Is he fully recovered from his injury?

It's also worth pointing out that Huth looks poor when Morgan isn't alongside him. They've been our best two centre halves for the last couple of years and they've formed a reliable partnership. Of course it's detrimental when one of them is missing. Shame that so many people are keen to disrespect Morgan though.

Shame that so many people are keen to disrespect Morgan though. Huth didn't taper off nearly as much as Morgan did. Without Huth at his side, Morgan cannot position himself defensively at all and panics very easily. Huth paired with Benny (or Wasyl to a lesser extent) is just a not-very-compatible partnership as when Huth is forced to be the physically calmer and less reckless of the two CBs he struggles and his lack of mobility becomes more of an issue, just not as much as Morgan's problems as Benalouane's pace is reasonable enough to make up for it and when he manages to keep his cool can do a serviceable job. Morgan's inability to organise a defence when he needs to be the leader is a more pertinent problem, and hopefully Maguire is up to that task. To suggest this is just flagrant disrespect to Wes is ridiculous. He's one of the most important figures in our dressing room and is a fantastic captain, but we can't close our eyes, ignore his shortcomings and pretend that he's a better footballer on the pitch than he is.
