Injury news: 3 Leicester stars doubtful for West Ham game
Following Leicester City’s demolition job away at Manchester City, spirits are high. However, 3 stars are doubts for the West Ham United game through injury.
Well, who enjoyed that Leicester City triumph at Manchester City‘s Etihad Stadium?! I think I know the answer to that! What a victory and tactical masterclass from Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers. Pep Guardiola – who?
A Jamie Vardy hat-trick – including two penalties as well as a superbly innovative back heeled finish – along with a Youri Tielemans spot kick did the damage. Not to mention a James Maddison worldie settling the score for Leicester, 5-2.
Of course Guardiola had many issues within his squad; but like Rodgers, Man City arguably only had two starting players missing.
Leicester City’s injury worries
Unfortunately for the Foxes, three of their stars received in-game treatment for problems sustained during the contest: Dennis Praet, Jonny Evans and Vardy were all withdrawn before the final whistle.
Apparently the Belgian star is the biggest doubt for the upcoming West Ham United match. His twisted knee will be assessed prior to meeting the Hammers. While Rodgers said he’s hopeful of having Evans and Vardy fit for selection.
