Bournemouth v Leicester: Star confirms absence, predicted Foxes XI
James Maddison has confirmed his absence from the Bournemouth v Leicester City match. Therefore Foxes of Leicester can reveal our predicted Foxes XI.
Ben Chilwell and his Leicester City and England team-mate James Maddison were not expected to play on Sunday against Bournemouth due to ongoing injury issues. Now Maddison has confirmed that he won’t feature in the contest, while offering his team his best wishes for the match.
Expected Leicester City line-up
Foxes of Leicester predicts Rodgers to continue with the 3-4-1-2 set-up – or a comparable system with three men at the back – Ryan Bennett may lose his place after a rather uneven display versus Arsenal where he seemed to be slightly out of his depth. Although, FoL has stuck with him in anticipation, for now.
Expected starting team: Kasper Schmeichel (captain); Bennett, Soyuncu, Evans; Christian Fuchs, James Justin; Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans; Ayoze Perez; Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy.
Harvey Barnes will be very unfortunate to miss out after impacting games from the bench, but nevertheless, this is how we believe the Northern Irishman select his line-up.
