Ricardo Pereira’s Leicester return from injury delayed again
Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira’s injury has seen him miss months of Foxes action, and his return from injury has been delayed again.
Ironically, Leicester City are missing a right-back with regards to scoring goals. While Ricardo Pereira isn’t a prolific goalscorer, yet he is involved in most of the positive and effective forward-thinking moves. Almost everything run through Ricardo, along with Wilfred Ndidi, he is probably the most vital Foxes star.
Although Leicester’s defence isn’t struggling too much at present, a player of the Portuguese’s standard will always elevate and improve any team. Conceived three goals at home to an only slightly above average West Ham side is unacceptable, to be candid.
But against Aston Villa, the introduction of debutant Wesley Fofana was fully successful. Brendan Rodgers has a real starlet on his hands there – another astute King Power club buy!
When to expect Ricardo Pereira back for Leicester City
Originally, Rodgers had expected to have the integral player back for the start of the Europa League competition. The Northern Irishman actually said he hoped that Ricardo would be fit by the end of October.
Recently, in spite of the fact that Ricardo was back in partial training, the boss stated the comeback date had been put back to November. Furthermore, the defensive man had also posted positive updates regarding his rehabilitation progress.
Unfortunately for City, according to the Portugal man, he won’t be back in contention that month but at the start of December. Which is a definite blow. However, he might be available for the away game in Ukraine at Zorya Luhansk in the UEL.

Before the next Europa League contest versus Zorya Luhansk, a week from the initial UEL game, Leicester face a tough Premier League tie against an improved Arsenal under Mikel Arteta. However, that is another winnable encounter, because for all of the Spaniard’s Emirates improvements, he’s still making rookie errors such as fielding his premium striker on the left-wing.
