Leuven away - pre-match thread (Friendly)

[moore_94]

Match is going to be 120 minutes (45, 45, then 30), so I would expect 60 minutes for each of the 2 line ups

 

I expect it will just be the players that are currently in Evian, rather than any of the other youngsters flying out to meet them for this

 

Hopefully see more of a mix compared to Notts County where we went full strength one half and then full youth (+ Nacho) the other

 

Goalkeepers: Daniel Iversen, Jakub Stolarczyk, Chituru Odunze, Brad Young, Danny Ward**

Full-backs: Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne, James Justin, Luke Thomas

Centre-backs: Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Jannik Vestergaard, Ben Nelson

Central midfielders: Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, Papy Mendy, Boubakary Soumare, Youri Tielemans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Dennis Praet, Sammy Braybrooke

Attacking/wide midfielders: James Maddison, Marc Albrighton, Harvey Barnes, Ayoze Perez, Callum Wright, Will Alves

Strikers: Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka, Kelechi Iheanacho

34 players including 5 development.    That's without Schmeichel and Bertrand. Good news is few injuries 

 

We really need to get some out.

I didn't know he was good enough to be named twice?

I have a friend with big hands and fingers that hates touchscreens with a vengeance, but since that's all that seems to be available now...

You are making blatant assumptions about me.

 

Anyway, Homer Simpson represents an under class.  Grumpiness should be understood and embraced about these fing keypads.

 

And now I am more frustrated by life because I have gone off topic more than some posts in the Transfer Talk threads.

Hopefully whoever's doing our transfers doesn't suffer from fat-finger syndrome    Still, the full 120-mins at the weekend should tell us exactly where we are right now...

Lose, and it’s Brendan out! 

[Burbagefox89]

Me and my lad have come out for this seen a lot of Leicester fans in and around Brussels/Leuven already so hoping for a decent turnout. Excited to see how the development squad boys get on, should hopefully be a decent game. One things for sure if Will Alves gets on the pitch he is going to get one hell of a reception from my lad 😂

Where you heard this mate? Fofana ankle was strapped getting off the plane yesterday, is the one he broke so hoping it’s just a standard precaution now.

“We’ve got one or two knocks. Wilf’s twisted his ankle in training a few days ago. We don’t think it’s too serious. It’s a high ankle sprain, so he had a scan on it and it’ll hopefully be okay. We’ve just looked after him really, he won’t be involved at the weekend, but of course, hopefully next week at some point he’ll be back training.”

 

“Hamza’s been out for a few days but he trained this morning also, so that’s really good news.”
