Disappointed if Sammy B hasn’t travelled, still convinced that there is a player in him and he’s the closest style wise to Winks. 

Sadly I do think his time has come and gone. That ACL really was a disaster for him

Thirty-two Leicester City players spotted as trio bid for first run-out in Marti Cifuentes debut
The squad have travelled to Europe for 10 days and play their third pre-season friendly on Saturday, their first under the guidance of new manager Marti Cifuentes

Thirty-two players have been spotted at Leicester City’s training camp in Austria as they prepare for their first game under new manager Marti Cifuentes.

City take on Hungarian top-flight side Zalaegerszegi on Saturday evening and will look to keep up their 100 per cent pre-season record after wins over Peterborough and OH Leuven.

It will be the first time Cifuentes is in the dugout as City boss. The match will give him a clearer picture of his squad, while it will also provide insight into his for the club’s supporters.

 

There could be maiden pre-season appearances for goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and winger Abdul Fatawu. City have taken precautions over the pair following their injuries and they did not feature in either of the first two friendlies.

But Fatawu, who tore his ACL eight months ago, and Hermansen, who underwent groin surgery in early May, have both been seen in training at the club’s camp in eastern Austria, near Graz, and so could get minutes against Zalaegerszegi.

There’s expected to be a first run-out of pre-season for Jannik Vestergaard. One of the later arrivals after representing Denmark on international duty, he’s been in training for more than a week now and so could feature on Saturday.

Fellow centre-back Ben Nelson didn't appear to be in training on the first day in Austria, but has travelled with the group.

However, there’s been no sign of left-back Victor Kristiansen at the camp after he limped out of the Leuven friendly.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid has not popped up in any photos or videos from Austria either. He was the last player to return to training after playing for Jamaica at the Gold Cup in late June, but he was seen at Seagrave earlier in the week.

Some of the young players who have featured in pre-season matches do not appear to be present either, with City perhaps needing to start whittling down their squad. There has been no sign of Michael Golding, Sammy Braybrooke, Tom Wilson-Brown, or Mirsad

 

Ali in Austria.

But Stevie Bausor, Jayden Joseph, Bade Aluko, Louis Page, Silko Thomas, Jake Evans and Jeremy Monga remain with the first-team group, while goalkeeper Jake Donohue, number one for the Under-18s last season, has now been called up.

 

Here’s the full rundown of players seen in Austria.

Goalkeepers: Mads Hermansen, Jakub Stolarczyk, Stevie Bausor, Jake Donohue.

 

Full-backs: James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Woyo Coulibaly, Luke Thomas, Jayden Joseph, Bade Aluko.

 

Centre-backs: Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Caleb Okoli, Conor Coady, Ben Nelson.

 

Central midfielders: Hamza Choudhury, Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare, Wilfred Ndidi, Oliver Skipp.

 

Attacking midfielders: Bilal El Khannouss, Will Alves, Louis Page.

 

Wingers: Stephy Mavididi, Abdul Fatawu, Kasey McAteer, Wanya Marcal, Jake Evans, Jeremy Monga.

 

Strikers: Patson Daka, Jordan Ayew, Silko Thomas.

Zero defensive awareness, zero attacking instinct.

Strikers and central midfield is clearly the weakest areas of the squad.

Don't he like to play 3 at the back ? but we have a lot of full backs in the squad.. not sure what he will do 

 

edit: nvm seems like he likes full backs

 

Martí Cifuentes typically employs a 4-2-3-1 formation, although he has also been known to use 4-3-3, 4-1-4-1, and 4-4-2 formations. His preferred build-up play often involves deep full-backs and midfielders playing as attacking midfielders (also known as #8s). In terms of pressing, he often utilizes a 4-5-1 mid-block structure.

Weak upfront and missing a certain profile when it comes to central midfield. In fact the ‘central midfield 5’ gives me the ick. Barely an attacking instinct between them

So the entire squad is with them then? 
 

No one has left, or sat out to great a transfer?
