Rodgers reveals Leicester player underwent surgery on injury
Brendan Rodgers reveals that a Leicester City player underwent surgery on an injury recently. Foxes of Leicester detail how long understudy goalkeeper Danny Ward should be unavailable.
It is absolutely essential that every professional team has a competent, trustworthy and, invariably, patient reserve or second choice stopper at the ready. Ward has those attributes exactly.
Wales’ No.1 is Premier League quality, I would assert. Although he is probably not going to become the heir to Kasper Schmeichel on Filbert Way, in my opinion. Remaining as the deputy is an option for the 28-year-old; along with the possibility of challenging whoever does replace the Dane in the top spot. Yet some think the Welshman will simply move on in the near future.

"“He just had an operation on his knee. It was just to clean up his meniscus so he’s out for a number of weeks.”“It’ll (Ward’s return) probably be towards the end of the season.”lcfc.com"

The East Midlands outfit’s underwhelming Premier League performance at Arsenal, especially in the last 45, will hopefully be out of the squad’s mind.
