Brendan Rodgers provides injury update on two Leicester stars

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers provided injury updates on two Leicester City stars following the UEL draw in Prague.

You may not have been as entertained as you wanted to be by the Slavia Prague Europa League match with the Foxes on Thursday, but Leicester got a decent result in trying circumstances. Therefore, let’s move on to another important clash as a much improved Aston Villa await in the Premier League.

Players like Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins – whom the east Midlanders apparently had an interest in before the Birmingham outfit swooped – are leading the Villans up the table. It’s rather awkward for me to praise them anymore, as a loyal Fox myself.

Nevertheless, objectivity is vital – and Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers will know as well as I that the upcoming game is going to be a tough contest. Thankfully there was some encouraging fitness news given by the manager after the UEL draw.

Leicester City boss with a positive update

Yes, that’s right – some good news: according to BBC Radio Leicester Sport, fullbacks Ricardo Pereira and Timothy Castagne are available for selection this Sunday.

Taking you elsewhere now in the Foxes sphere, due to the comments of former-Leicester champion Robert Huth. ‘Big Huthy’ said he was enamoured upon first entering the Belvoir Drive training complex and King Power Stadium to meet his teammates and then gaffer Nigel Pearson.

Coming from Stoke City where playing time had evaporated for the German, he claims he had a similar feeling when joining the Foxes as he did with the Potters. Even going so far as to compare the Englishman with ex-Stoke chief Tony Pulis – you can see what Huth means! Read more at Leicestershire Live.
