Kasper Castagne Fofana Evans Justin Mendy Tielemans Under Perez Barnes Iheanacho It's actually not bad, nothing on the bench though. Evans and Vardy will both play. Under will be on the bench.

Facecloth Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 I was getting worried reading about all these injuries over the last few days, and its particularly annoying when its players that have gone away on pointless international duty and picked them up. But you know what, it is what it is. We'll have to cope. Its totally out of our hands, half these injuries weren't even caused at the club. If we lose to Villa, so be it, I'd rather the players who are out recover properly and come back fully fit rather than playing this weekend and potentially being out longer. We still have a decent team to put out. Tielemans, Mendy, Barnes, Castagne, Kasper etc. The central defence is a worry but this is why we've signed the likes of Forfana, to cover the others when they are out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 Heads should ****ing roll for this planning of international breaks. Totally forseeable problems and we've ended up paying the price through the idiocy of others. Absolutely livid. Going to be even better when the Europa League starts isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyuncu, Evans, Praet, Vardy, Maddison and Amartey are the fresh injuries. So that's 3 of the 6 that have happened or a minor niggle made worse on international duty. Ndidi, Ricardo, Morgan, and Benkovic we've been coping without for a while so I wouldn't really include them in this latest panic. Morgan is old, Benkovic is permanently injured anyway, Ricardos was caused by an in game tackle and Ndidi is the only one I think we've made worse, by rushing him back with previous injuries. Anyway my point was there's **** all we can do right now, so let's not get upset, let's not rush players back. It is what it is, and others teams have similar levels of injury, like Newcastle, Liverpool, Man Utd etc, so just put the best out we can against Villa and hope we pull off a result. I honestly think the reason ots become so apparent here is because we've lost a large number of defenders, had it not been practically the who of our defence I don't think people would be so upset.

NaijaFox Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 Frankly, I don’t really share much of the doom and gloom here. We always knew that any knock to Vardy would be a setback and apparently reconciled ourselves with Nacho as a short-term replacement for a few games (the good thing if Vardy is unavailable is that Nacho seem to enjoy playing against Villa), so that should significantly knock us off stride. It merely requires a different set up and tactics, since it’s not exactly a like-for-like replacement. Our biggest issue is at CB, since very few would have envisioned having both our starters (and possibly Big Wes) out at the same time, even though some of us had hoped for another quality CB signing once it became clear that Benkovic was peripheral to the plans for this season (but of course there were arguably financial constraints). Nonetheless, we should still have enough (barely) with Fofana, Fuchs and probably (or possibly) Wes and Evans. If both Madders and Praet are unavailable, that would obviously be a significant setback (although it sounds as if Maddison can play some part) but not necessarily disastrous. Between Tielemans, Mendy, Perez, Albrighton, Ünder and Barnes (even Hamza in a pinch) we should have enough. Of course, the bench becomes much lighter in terms of quality and further injuries could well do us in, but still think someone like Gray remains a viable option off the bench. Go get them, yer beautiful Foxes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 Worst case scenario; Schmeichel, Justin, Fofana, Fuchs, Castagne, Mendy, Tielemans, Maddison (assume he’s fit?) Under, Iheanacho, Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hansifüx Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 after the last game the midfield worries me most, maybe Choudhury should start? I don't think mendy and tielemans bring enough physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think mendy and tielemans bring enough physicality. Mendy is a much better footballer than Choudhury. Although Hamza is still a good prospect, he’s been too mistake prone when he’s been given the opportunities. Ndidi has had two quite bad injuries in the last year and Hamza didn’t take his opportunity, now it’s Mendy’s turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 16 October 2020 Share Posted 16 October 2020 So, is this right?! Vards, Evans, Wes, Praet, Maddison possible but unfit to a degree and/or carrying knocks Cags, Wilf, Amartey, Ricardo all proper out Little Wes possibly riddled with Covid. Why can't it be Perez who gets injured?! He's like the ugly bird who just won't go no matter what 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
