Maddison injured ffs

 

 

 

I suspect they are being extra careful with players finally, no issue with that whilst we have this chronic problem with players fitness. Long term I hope there's a plan to prevent all of this happening regularly.

I really dont want to see daka start up front without iheanacho as support but it's almost inevitable. Hopefully leeds will allow him enough space that he can still affect the game even without the support

That’s my gut. There was a time we’d risk those players and now someone has had a word

Hopefully Leeds aren’t doing well tomorrow 

[FoxinNotts]

Two keepers on the bench tomorrow then

[lgfualol]

Ricky certified sicknote ;'(

[goose2010]

Probably why Madders didn't start on Tuesday night then.

 

Rather they both be back for Thursday to be honest.

Rodgers has pretty much confirmed Vardy will start “whether he’ll last the whole game or not”. 

[Ian Nacho]

Vardy start.

Scratch that, actually, Just seen JJ training on the photos, so could mean a starting eleven of:

 

Schmeichel

 

Justin

Amartey

Soyuncu

Thomas

 

Ndidi

Tielemans

KDH

 

Albrighton

Vardy

Barnes

 

And a bench of

 

Ward, Lestergaard, Mendy, Choudhury, Soumare, Lookman, Perez, Iheanacho, Daka

Justin back in training

[moore_94]

Only spotted Brunt and Nelson in 1st team training

[Shane]

Really not sure about Albrighton at fullback for this one, Leeds will play a fast paced attacking style which could give him some trouble. He's been playing well on the wing anyway so lets him keep there.

 

If Justin is unavailable this would be my back four:

 

Amartey, Brunt, Soyuncu, Thomas

[KrefelderFox666]

Schmeichel

 

Thomas

Soyuncu

Amartey

Albrighton

 

Ndidi

KDH

Tielemans

 

Barnes

Vardy

Lookman

[David Hankey]

Lawro says 2-0, that's good enough for me!!

Sackable offence not to immediately call upon Will Alves if Maddison is out. 

[FosseSpark]

Don't do things by Alves

4 year contract too.

[leicesterseddon]

Thoroughly sick of the injuries this year, it’s just ruined the season 

 

It hit home recently when we played Wolves, and it struck me they had a fully fit squad with all players available for selection. When was the last time we were able to say that? 
 

We could be without 7 senior players tomorrow (including 6 defenders) and it just feels perfectly normal 

[enmac]

Darren Bent predicts 3-0, Andy Goldstein 5-0.

Eerie sense of dread seeing all these predictions now. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Not sure why but the ‘new manager bounce’ hoodoo isn’t on my mind. Can’t place it but I just don’t see how any coach could sure that defence up in a matter of days. 
 

Please don’t nause this up Leicester.
