The final match of the EFL Championship campaign is likely to be Gary Rowett’s last as Leicester City head coach. There won’t be many tears on Filbert Way after a miserable tenure, though it must, however, be noted that the former Foxes player tried his futile best to steady a listing ship. For his last LCFC game versus Blackburn Rovers, the 52-year-old is expected to hand chances to many Leicester youths, perhaps seeking a silver lining amidst the atmospheric gloom of a difficult season.
First of all, we might see world-renowned prospect Jeremy Monga from the start; the time is right for the precocious winger to illuminate the pitch with his senior inclusion. A host of other promising City youngsters are forecast to start or be deployed as substitutes as well, as the club looks toward a structural reset. Defender Bade Aluko and the elegant midfielder Louis Page are amongst the names thought to be in with a chance to showcase their burgeoning pedigree on the professional stage.
Debuts could also be given, according to reports from Leicester Mercury, as the squad undergoes a youthful infusion. Kevon Gray is the main person in that respect, a talent whose physical readiness has long been whispered about within the Seagrave corridors. Tommy Neale is another who is in line after impressing consistently for the Under-21s with his tactical maturity.
"There might be potential for a debut or two as well. Centre-back Kevon Gray was on the bench earlier this season, while deep midfielder Tommy Neale and striker Kirsten Otchere were seen in first-team training earlier this month, and they will be pushing for a spot among the substitutes."Leicestershire Live
Meanwhile, the King Power outfit would love to convince Kirsten Otchere to stay with a bow; offering the clinical attacker his first-team debut could be the pivotal gesture needed to secure his future against the predatory interest of circling giants. In a season of few highlights, these fresh faces represent the flickering hope of a Filbert Way resurgence.
