How will Leicester lineup without Fofana?

Leicester City finally claimed their first victory in pre-season, with a 3-2 win at home to Villarreal. But, with Wesley Fofana receiving a long-term injury, potentially ending his season before its even began, the overall feeling from the fixture is a negative one.

Throughout my article, I will look to find positives in how Leicester will lineup without Wesley Fofana — whilst potentially outlining a possible replacement, more so a profile-based replacement, to ensure the Foxes faithful remain upbeat ahead of the new campaign.

First and foremost, it has to be mentioned that Fofana’s active and high octane defensive style definitely forces more challenges than that of a reserved defender. It’s perhaps not unlikely that an injury of this severity was sustained — but, and this is crucial, the tackle was almost certainly an act of revenge from Fernando Niño and isn’t sportsmanlike from the Spanish outfit.

I’m not going to get bogged down in the ins and outs of the foul, I think a lot of people have covered the emotional impact of the events online and done so with varying degrees of frustration. My job is to find solutions for Leicester City, so let’s do that. Please click below to continue reading.
