These are the Leicester City players closest to a return from injury etcetera, following an unprecedented amount of absentee Foxes.
Since the Everton-Leicester match at Goodison Park was cancelled for the second time, Leicester now look ahead to meeting Burnley in the Premier League. Sean Dyche’s men are in a more precarious position than their customarily study yet distinctly average campaigns.
Last time out the Foxes defeated the Clarets’ fellow English top-flight strugglers, Watford, in the FA Cup 4-1. Although, Burnley may pose more of a threat as their EPL status becomes increasingly threatened and desperation for points sets in.
Being as the clash will take place at Turf Moor, as opposed to King Power Stadium, there is further proof this will be a tough encounter for the east Midlands outfit. And, adding more incentive for the Lancashire side, Leicester are currently without a recognised out-and-out striker presently.
Next. The real reason Everton v Leicester was cancelled again. dark
Not to mention that only one Foxes centre-back is available in the underwhelming Jannik Vestergaard. However, the chance for peripheral personnel to shine and highly rated Under-23 talent to burst onto the scene was truly taken against the Hornets.
Adding to that incredibly unpredictable buoyancy for Leicester is the claim that four very important sidelined players might be ready for the upcoming fixture on January 15 away to Burnley.
Returning Leicester City players
Subsequent to defeating Claudio Ranieri’s Watford on Saturday, LCFC boss Brendan Rodgers answered questions posed by media. During this time the Northern Irishman provided details on Patson Daka, Caglar Soyuncu, Luke Thomas and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall:
Hot. Young FA Cup debutant thrilled & annoyed simultaneously. light
"“Patson Daka, Cags, Luke Thomas, Kiernan, we were hoping more towards Burnley for them. And then some of the other boys.“We had good news, James Justin played 45 minutes for the Under-23s, which is great news for us, but of course he won’t be ready for the next game.“We need to go back in there with the medical team, analyse where we’re at, and take it from there.”Leicester Mercury"
