Leicester injury news: possible Callum Doyle return date
Following another Enzo Maresca press conference, Foxes of Leicester runs the Blue Army through the latest Leicester City injury news. There is a lengthy possible Callum Doyle return date; the Manchester City loanee has a knee problem and will need cover from the experienced James Justin.
In spite of loss at Anfield against the mighty yet not invulnerable Liverpool, Leicester showed character and will. I don’t think an upset was ever particularly likely, but it was pleasant for Foxes fans to witness a decent showing from their currently tier two team versus Premier League opposition. In the English second division, the east Midlanders couldn’t have done much more, King Power Stadium defeat to Hull City aside. But every season sees issues, even for the Manchester City of the Championship. Yeah, I’m coining that one.
After defeating ex-Leicester manager Nigel Pearson and Bristol City, and following the Reds loss, LCFC meet Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn, who played some wonderfully entertaining football in the last campaign, are a disappointing 14th place at the moment. But Rovers got a boost for Sunday because City defender Callum Doyle is unavailable. Doyle may not feature until January, says Maresca. The Italian will hopefully have the left-sided player back for the Ipswich Town game.
Gary Lineker explains role in saving Leicester City Football Club
Lineker has modestly opened up about a significant period in modern LCFC history, which preceded the glorious Premier League title triumph. The former Foxes striker, involved in the rescue 2002 consortium, said that he and his long-time agent, Jon Holmes, constructed a group of approximately 20-30 investors.
The Match of the Day presenter proclaimed winning that particular battle as very important. Lineker stated that there was no investment to buy players, interceding was just about keeping his boyhood club afloat. We thank Mr Lineker for his efforts.
