Star Leicester City player judged fit to face Tottenham Hotspur

A Leicester City star player who was a doubt for Saturday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur has been ruled available. This also contains a full injury update.

Leicester City have made a solid, or satisfactory, start to 2019/20, with all things considered. Those elements are: the aspiration of European qualification, which is on course even at this early stage. And, naturally, the quality exhibited as well as points gained that a squad of this talent should attain.

Though the defeat to Manchester United left fans puzzled over certain choices Brendan Rodgers made, in terms of: stratagem, formation and personnel. In other words it was a defensive-minded set-up at a former fortress – when a statement of intent was surely compulsory for the big-thinking Foxes.

However, as always with the ever-half-full Northern Irishman, there are positives to take: massive possession at Old Trafford; some quality moves; no injuries. The last aspect was reaching a bit there but those examples are typical Rodgers rhetoric. Not in a particularly negative sense, just, that’s how upbeat he is on the ‘bright-side’.

Although Foxes of Leicester attempt to be impartial and unbiased in our critique: it was a chance missed versus United. A club struggling to keep their top-six placing for another year; contrast with a youthful, dangerous Foxes team capable of sharper attacking structure and accomplished flow.

Leicester City v Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur are up next at King Power Stadium, this Saturday at British lunchtime. This match will be hotly contested with both pursuing three points: as a message to the rival top seven or so sides.

Thankfully Leicester star defender Ben Chilwell has been pronounced available for the contest. He was on the receiving end of a very strong Scott McTominay challenge but is passed fit for Spurs’ visit:

"“He is okay. He had a little bit of recovery inside, he worked inside, but he is fine.”– Brendan RodgersVia: LCFC Live"

Chilwell had been trained inside away from the rest of the team – leading to speculation over his status. Everyone else, apart from perennially injured Matty James, is ready.
