Soyuncu's injury

[manders86 367]

Surely we loaned benkovic knowing that Cags injury was at least potentially serious? Doesnt make sense

[Kopfkino 4,266]

Bizarre decision to send Benko out on loan knowing we're short of CBs. He needs game time but we're also ****ed if Evans picks up an injury which he has plenty of history for. 

[Mickyblueeyes 2,572]

Our second half of the season is going to be great when all these guys come back. You got Liverpool fans crying rivers of tears from losing one player. We’ve practically lost our team. 

[GingerrrFox 2,055]

Good job we got Fofana in is all I can say, we may need to wrap Jonny Evans in ice but Wes Morgan should still be good enough to get us through the group stages till Cags is back. 

[Jaspa 2,204]

This is absolutely ridiculous

 

Get well soon Cags, Riccy, Wilf and Vards. Maybe Maddison will get to full fitness soon.

 

The players have had a glut of games and will be battling from now until November, two games a week, Ukraine & Athens included. There does have to be an internal investigation though, physio sacked ect. - did we even replace him? It can't all be bad luck

3 more months of excuses for Rodgers then. He loves it.

Evans seems so close to an injury though, got a history of having at least a month or so out most seasons as well. Bonkers to send Benkovic out.

[TK95 2,291]

Literally couldn't write how disorganised we are 

[Corky 13,587]

Honestly, why would you deliberately weaken an area of the team that is in danger of being overstretched by sending a player out on loan when a key player is out for months? Benkovic can't be that bad, surely? 

 

I have sympathy with injuries but the squad management is terrible.

[Legend_in_blue 1,705]

No worries.  We have Amartey.

2020 can get in the bin!

Physio: Brendan, just got the results back re. Cags, he's out for three months

Brendan: ****

Rudkin: Brendan, got Cardiff on the phone, they want Benkovic on loan for the season, am I alright to say yes?

Brendan: Sure, why not?

Not only that but we have also let Johnson, Knight & Hughes go on loan, all of whom could play centre back at a push. We could now be in the same situation as we were during project restart. It really makes you wonder if the management have a clue what they are doing.

[dayday 979]

This is probably the best 11 Leicester have ever had, and we probably won’t ever get to see them play together, how frustrating

Yeah which puts in the scenario of having to play the likes of Evans or Morgan half fit or even players out of position 

[RowlattsFox 2,497]

We kept Thomas which suggests to.me that Fuchs is emergency centre back 

 

Definitely see a back 3 in European games. 

[I am an Ostrich 61]

I can play centre half - loosing a bit of pace though

At what point did we know about this injury? Makes loaning out Benkovic even more weirder if we've known about it for a good few days/week?

[Paddy. 14,643]

Does Benko have a recall clause? If so, it might not be the worst idea to have him get match sharpness for if / when we do need him. If he doesn't then that is inexplicable.

He has to have been injured whilst he was away with Turkey, so this would have been before Benko left...

[Fightforever 864]

Barnes Vardy Under 

Maddison Tielemans

              Ndidi

Castange soy fofana ricardo

          Schmeichel

 

This elevenhas the potential the best we've ever had imo but we wont see it fvcking kick a ball at this rate.

We knew he was injured on international duty (or at least the fans on here did). We also knew that Evans is carrying niggles and plays a lot for club and country. Morgan has back issues.

 

Even if Soyuncu was out for a fortnight, reducing the options creates greater risk for the others. We need to rotate this season due to the extra games and the tighter schedule. We could well be flogging players this season.

 

Benkovic, Knight or Hughes might not be the long-term answer but they'd provide short-term cover and support. We've sent them away and reduced numbers in a fragile area of the squad.

[foxes_rule1978 3,471]

And the news gets worse, we have pretty much lost the spine of our team with no Ndidi, cags and Vardy... Maddison not being 100% either. Ricardo out as well, that is half our team and our best players as well. 

[mucfox 153]

No problem. We have Little Wes, he's better and and maybe soon he will play with his father Big Wes in the starting XI....

[HankMarvin 5,147]

Should’ve kept Big Ben around

No. He's a footballing professor playing 5d chess. 

 

In seriousness - I'm a huge fan of his for the most but the man prefers to set up excuses and uses deceit to cover up shortcomings. 

 

In a month or two he'll be bemoaning investment whilst ignoring the fact he's sanctioned moves away from a vulnerable position.

 

He'd be much the better manager for having met this problem head on rather than, as it seems, tried to sidestep it.
