An injury update on Leicester’s James Maddison
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has given injury updates on James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Ayoze Perez following the win against Crystal Palace.
At last the troubling winless run of Leicester City’s is no more. Crystal Palace were eventually the team to incur the inevitable wrath of this quality, youthful Foxes side.
Regardless of having a poor match by his standards, Jamie Vardy also scored his 100th and 101st Premier League goals. Foxes of Leicester offer our congratulations to the former England international.
Next up for the East Midlanders is a trip to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. The Gunners are – finally – enjoying a decent succession of successes in premiership outings. Therefore it is a relief that Brendan Rodgers’ outfit has now returned to triumphant ways, even if it was only the one contest so far.
