Leicester injuries and return dates for Soyuncu, Perez, Soumare

Foxes of Leicester details the latest batch of Leicester City injury updates for defender Caglar Soyuncu, attacker Ayoze Perez and midfielder Bouba Soumare.

Thursday night’s crucial European clash was never going be a thrilling encounter. Chiefly because in any first leg meeting both clubs are always heedful of the deciding fixture to come.

The most cautious approach is naturally employed, generally, by the away side; even though away goals do not count as extra in stalemate anymore. Meanwhile the home team seems to be more forward-thinking.

Leicester won’t be disappointed with their PSV Eindhoven draw, whatsoever. Yet, having even a one goal lead to take into the Netherlands contest would have been ideal. Three players that the Foxes would perhaps have called upon are Caglar Soyuncu, Ayoze Perez or Bouba Soumare. Although they are not starters at present, the injured or ill trio will be substitutes when fit.

Above is a tweet from BBC Radio Leicester Sport explaining the absences of Soumare, Perez and Soyuncu for the Europa Conference League outing.

Following the update on April 7, on the 8th Brendan Rodgers gave further details on Perez and Soumare. The duo shall likely be ready for the Crystal Palace match at King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Rotation is expected during the month due to a concerning list of eight games.

However, the previously mentioned pair are unlikely to be in the starting eleven as they are only just returning. Otherwise, the Frenchman and Spaniard might well have began against the Eagles; Brendan Rodgers confirming that changes will be made to the XI this month for freshness.

Soyuncu was also covered in Friday’s Leicester press conference. Thankfully the Turk will be added back into the matchday squad this weekend.
