We have two stories to bring to Leicester City's Blue Army fan base's attention on this Friday (October 10) afternoon. First of all, we look at the claim that the Foxes are causing concerns amongst their Championship foes. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind! It seems as though a fairly astute seeming managerial appointment, coupled with LCFC's ambition, size and somehow retained and gained quality is a worry for their division rivals. This is a positive development which Marti Cifuentes must play on, use to his advantage and absolutely ram down tier two opponents' throats. In the absence of a less severe metaphor.
In addition to examining the King Power aura and the comments of a former Championship standout, we have more for you. And this is another fortunate and helpful insight into a more physical and vital element of the Leicester side. Before the international fixtures began and seven of City's senior professionals went off for duty, Cifuentes made a request. He asked Ghanaian National Team officials to 'look after' or protect Abdul Fatawu. But why would the boss do this, and what injury news is relevant to the star of Filbert Way and Accra Sports Stadium?
Leicester City cause concern
Indisputable Wycombe Wanderers legend Joe Jacobson has been speaking commendably of LCFC. And he has a point; I've quoted the co-CEO of Reading underneath:
"I think they have still got players who have Premier League experience, like Bobby Decordova-Reid up front. They have got players that can win you matches. But when you can get someone like Jordan James scoring goals, creating them, then it adds another dimension to your squad.
“Leicester have got an aura about them in the Championship; they are a huge, huge club in that division."
Abdul Fatawu injury news
Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, Fatawu, to name but a few. What a team the 'Black Stars' have! I wouldn't mind more of them in LE2.
Anyway, it appears Fatawu came through Ghana's game against Central African Republic unscathed. There was concern from Leicestershire because it was the winger's initial match back with his country since serious injury.
Fatawu tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) last season, missing much of the action in the Premier League. Thankfully the City standout seems all right.
