Injury information and hopeful return dates for Evans and Castagne

Foxes of Leicester provide injury information and possible return dates for star Leicester City defenders Jonny Evans and Timothy Castagne.

Evans’ and Wesley Fofana’s absences are undoubtedly the main reasons for a relatively unsatisfactrory 2021/22 season. Had even one been fit throughout the campaign and able to form a duo, much more would have been achieved.

In addition, the less appealing option of one of the formerly mentioned pair partnering with Caglar Soyuncu would have sufficed. Forget Jannik Vestergaard, he must be sold in the summer before his price crashes further!

Though a fit squad wasn’t to be, for whatever reason. Some point the finger at the recently formed medical department which is now being turned upside down, yet those allegations are entirely unprovable.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel because Fofana is fit again, and Evans is back seemingly in full training. In a further boost, fullback Timothy Castagne has also been photographed at practice:

"On Wednesday, both players (Evans and Castagne) appeared back in training for the first time since their operations. However, neither are expected to be back featuring in the first team until after the March international break [possibly Manchester United on April 2].Leicester Mercury"

Leicester City aim for Europa Conference League quarter-finals progress

Stade Rennais welcome the East Midlands team to their Roazhon Park stadium on late afternoon Thursday. Rennes are a particularly formidable Ligue 1 outfit; yet lost 2-0 to the King Power side this time last week following a resounding Leicester performance. The clash in France is likely to be more of a dangerous adventure for the Foxes than the initial comfortable outing at home.

Reaching the UECL quarter-finals will further dissuade the so-called ‘Rodgers Out’ crew. Even though many of us neutrals almost boarded that ‘train’ when the somewhat stubborn LCFC boss refused to scrap his ridiculously inept set-piece system. He still hasn’t resolved free kick and corner issues at defensively or in attack. Although the general form has improved. Keep it simple but deadly, Rodgers.
