When Fofana and Vardy should return from injury
Using information from Brendan Rodgers’ press conference, Foxes of Leicester explain when Wesley Fofana and Jamie Vardy should return to action from injuries for Leicester City. In addition to assessing further topics from the media event.
Fofana should have started in defence versus Norwich City in the 3-0 win. Although, he was replaced by Daniel Amartey before kick-off due to what has been described as a “tight calf”. Though the Frenchman is expected to be involved in the Watford clash.
Meanwhile Vardy, who scored two against the Canaries on the night, sustained a wrist problem. Rodgers seemed optimistic about an upcoming checkup for the former England striker; and it appears the No.9 is fit, however.
Brendan Rodgers talking end of season and Leicester City’s off-season
Here we shall discuss more details via the latest Rodgers presser. First of all, the ex-Swansea head coach spoke eloquently about the positive impact of elder statesmen in and around the squad. That is even the case, says the gaffer, if they won’t be playing much, or at all, just before retiring.
Wes Morgan is a perfect example; I was critical of keeping the Premier League champion for longer than necessary. Only until I was proven wrong by the Jamaica international being strong until the end; he even scored some vital goals as his time as a player on Filbert Way expired. Jamie Vardy will possibly be the latest to undertake the most senior athletic role.
With regard to the dying embers of the 2021/22 term, Rodgers said it was never the intention of the team to finish with a “whimper”. Nevertheless, his men have been accused of this; usually accompanied by allegations of incorrect tactical and personnel deployment toward the Northern Irishman. Ending the season strongly and thusly placing a marker down was mentioned, too. The pleasing Norwich victory as well as another, hopeful, three points vs the Hornets was also referred to.
