Aus Fox Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Apologies for starting a new thread on this, but with a few key players out. I thought it would be good to have a place to monitor them and share any news. Ricardo - back in training still a few weeks away from playing again. Ndidi - had an operation last week will be out for another 10 weeks minimum. James - will we ever see him fit again Benkovic - hip - no details as far as I am aware! Praet?? Evans?? Vardy?? All three went off last week any news?
WigstonWanderer Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Good idea. Always thought a thread of this type would be useful but too lazy to start one. Ideally it should be pinned and anyone with genuine info update it so that the rest of us can see at a glance what the current situation is thought to be. BTW, Vardy said he was OK in his post match interview, but he would probably that anyway.

blue blood Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Blue blood - bad back from poor posture as per diagnosis my nagging wife -'your back is f***ed because you slouch' Out for 1-2 weeks.

That said he was only out for a few days then. It is a bit worrying though that there has been no news from within th camp on any of the three injuries we picked up last weekend

StanSP Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Vardy said himself after the game it's an injury he gets every now and then but he'll be fine I think.
happy85 Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Benko was back in training last week Must be injury free for now
les-tah Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Praet - selected for Belgium so not a bad one will be fit for the weekend I’m guessing.

Think he did it raising his foot high to clear a corner about 5 minutes after half time. Mind you still scored 2 after that. With the two week break after wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play Sunday to give 3 weeks to fully repair.

He must have a weird and wonderful injury that doesn't actually affect him really but does feel it .. weird. But it seems like he can continue games with it.
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 There is a pretty good article in The Athletic today on the club's sports science department and how they are trying to deal with injury prevention. https://theathletic.co.uk/2104790/2020/10/02/paul-balsom-leicester-city-head-of-innovations-soft-tissue-injuries/ It's of course behind a paywall, but I haven't used any of my 5 free 30 day passes. If anyone wants one, just zing me a dm. First come first serve.
NewquayFox Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Are Evans & Praet fit to play on Sunday, Fofana is...

jeffschlupp Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Vardy (hip), Evans (calf), Praet (knee), Gray (virus) have all trained. All will be ready. Under has had his international clearance and will be in the squad. Benkovic is also back in training and has been for at least a week. Leaves only Ndidi (groin, mid-late December) and Ricardo (knee, late October) as injury concerns. Club awaiting confirmation that Fofana is eligible for Sunday.

NewquayFox Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: Has he had his clearance then ??? Don’t know. But Fofana will be fit enough if Evans isn’t fit and Maddison in if Praet isn’t fit.
st albans fox Posted 2 October 2020 Posted 2 October 2020 Brendan says Evans and vardy both fit and possibly praet aswell ...

FoxFossil Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 One thing puzzled me about the Rennie sacking. Normally if you are 'restructuring' you advertise the new jobs and current staff are allowed to apply. Only after new structure is in place are unwanted staff sacked. This way, there is no period without key roles filled. After Rennie sacking are we missing a key role, whilst injuries seem to be racking up?
Farrington fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Bring Dave the rave Rennie back, get these players fit.
Sunbury Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Did Brendan say how much longer Praet and Maddison will be out? After today, desperate for at least one of them to be back for the next match!
