Dennis Praet

[martyn]

Hopefully its just something like a tweaked medial ligament. Always worry with knees as even innocuous looking things can be more serious than they first appear.

He was great again today. Might not get the showreel highlights, but he runs like a machine, makes himself available, joins the attacks, drifts wide to support the play, etc.

 

Totally reborn this season!

It helps to be playing in position, though I would contend he was really good last season too without getting much credit for it.

 

Obviously a wonderful day but losing Praet for any length of time just as he's emerging as a star would be a devastating blow.

Here’s the tackle that caused the Praet injury. It’s apparently a twisted knee, which will be assessed on Monday.
 

Ake almost took Youri out as well dirty ****

Did he carry on playing or is that the moment he went off? 

 

Hopefully nothing serious. Hit the ground running and earnt his place in midfield. A silver lining yhay Maddison is back I guess if Praet is injured. Would rather both be available though!

It was a couple of minutes before he came off but he was clearly done at that point.  Not moving well at all.

He carried on playing, but only for a couple of minutes. He was originally on his haunches in the attacking third after the challenge but got himself back to help out defensively before hitting the deck near our own goal and being subbed.

[Tom12345]

How long is he going to be out for?

[Vardinio'sCat]

 

It will be a shame if he misses more than a week or so, because the midfield is purring.

[AS78UK]

I know I am slow at this but, Praet is really starting to grow on me.  Worried if we loose him on top of all the others already missing. 

[Lizhang]

Has he put Maddison on the bench with his performances, or was Maddison injured and is that why Praet got into the starting 11?

And would you guys prefer Praet or Maddison to start (in case both were fit)?

The latter, ostensibly, but now we have a nice problem when both are fit.

 

Ideally, I'd like BOTH to play, but not to the detriment of the team. We have a lot of players I like, and Under to show his hand to come. Not a bad situation to be in.

Maddison was injured...

I have no Preferences as of yet,but there will be mixed opinions among the foxes-faithfull

[Leicester_Loyal]

Any news on his injury?

 

My guess is that he'll miss the WHU game and we'll have Maddison starting for us. It's just great that we've finally got 4 class players going for 3 positions, rather than 1 player going for 3.

Praet seems to have good chemistry with Tielemans and Castagne. In fact Praet is an important player who knows how to support others and make them better by creating space for others, making runs to give options and stretch defences, filling in defensive holes, and doing other little things to help others, etc. There is a reason why Tielemans is playing so much better when Praet is around. I think Maddison is more suited playing a more advanced role near Vardy, so question is more for Rodgers in terms of what kind of system and tactics he prefers the team to play.

Great to have both in the squad. Wouldn’t mind seeing Maddison against the weaker teams and Praet come in against the better sides as he’s a bit more of an all rounder. 

 

Dont forget Mendy as well that’s 5 good players for 3 positions. Throw in Choudhury and Dewsbury-Hall we’ve got a good range of great players there with different strengths.

Good point.  Maddison will always be more creative than Praet but I can't help but think that the Tielemans/Praet midfield partnership actually makes us a stronger, more balanced team.

It sound bonkers, but the midfield three might be stronger and more balanced without Maddison and N'didi!

Totally reborn this season!

...his apparent issues with Rodgers has been resolved, so it seems!!!

Just seeing the conflict between the two in matches and his substitutions gave the impression of his time being potentially short at this club.

  What ever was said, has certainly borne fruit.

[Jazzy_Jeff]

He’s been superb this season so far. If he’s fit he plays, just hope any knock isn’t too serious.

 

Seems a lot fitter/quicker this season. Often wonder whether a summer transfer can affect fitness if it’s dragged out.

Whatever issue it was definitely has been sorted. Dennis seems a lot happier and it was nice to see him and Brendan walking out together on the training video laughing and chatting. I think they all seemed to have looked at themselves and honest conversations have been had. Fresh start and the team as a whole seems tight.

He was great before Corona, weak after corona, and this season great again. Worth his price.

He needs to keep off the Mexican lagers then

[Guest Col city fan]

When we’re talking about ‘utility players’ I see Praet as a great utility player

Has started this season brilliantly imo

[Buzzell]

Really hope he kicks on. Superb start to the season. Him and Tilly in the middle of the park

Any update on his injury yet?
