Leicester injuries, return dates: Vardy and Albrighton

Leicester City have numerous injuries to contend with once again. But what are the reported return dates for Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton?

What is going on in the Foxes medical department? Well, only people at the club know for certain. But, regardless of if it is fair  or not, a more comprehensive health staff reshuffle than planned is now very probable.

And that comes after the oddest LCFC season on memory with regard to the revolving door of injured players. Hopefully nobody loses their job who doesn’t deserve too, of course. The fitness of the squad is paramount – over everything.

There are approximately seven or eight unavailable senior players, while another couple of Foxes are returning to the side. Thankfully Timothy Castagne made his comeback after a while out; and the Belgian international’s stunning strike from outside the box was one of the King Power outfit’s goals of the campaign without a doubt.

Below is an update on Vardy’s and Albrighton’s respective status:

"“The likes of Jamie (Vardy), it’s a week to a couple of weeks, so that’s looking much healthier for us.”“Marc (Albrighton) hopefully should be back just after the international break if he’s not back by then. It’s just a tweak in his groin.”– Brendan RodgersVia Leicester Mercury"

According to ex-Foxes defender Gerry Taggart, several of the East Midlanders’ personnel impressed in the victory over the struggling Bees. Taggart is the resident summariser for LCFCtv, and often offers these types of opinions on the Leicester team.

Naming Kasper Schmeichel who was “very good”, along with the “great” Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was no surprise from the Northern Irishman. He also considered Caglar Soyuncu “excellent” on the occasion. Meanwhile free-kick master and goalscorer James Maddison was named Man of the Match.
