Positive injury news for Leicester ahead of big Liverpool match

Thankfully for Leicester City and their supporters, there has been some positive injury news in the lead up to the big game against Liverpool.

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel sustained a head injury versus Iceland while playing for Denmark on Sunday, in a collision with Albert Gudmundsson.

In the above photograph, you can see that there are possibly two affected areas around the eye of the stopper which received a fairly powerful blow from the Icelandic international.

However, for the Dane to be back in training already, along with his national team manager stating that Schmeichel was not knocked unconscious, it is likely that the latter will be available for selection by Brendan Rodgers in Sunday’s particularly significant match against Liverpool.

Obviously Schmeichel’s health and wellbeing is the most important aspect here, yet it would be a massive boost for the Foxes to have their on pitch captain and great ‘keeper between the sticks.

One way to know almost certainly if the former Leeds United player will be ready for the Reds clash, is if he is fielded by Denmark in their match with Belgium on Wednesday.

Rodgers should also be able to welcome back defensive star Timothy Castagne after he missed all of King Power side’s previous three outings.

Elsewhere in the City sphere, it was claimed last week that the Leicester squad have benefited from tactical analysis briefings and recovery periods, rather than too many training sessions. This alteration has been credited with enabling the current six-match winning streak. Midfielder Youri Tielemans says he and his team-mates don’t train much, as well as hailing the management.
