Leicester City have had worse injury-ravaged campaigns. Yet a few acutely important players like Jordan James and Aaron Ramsey were sidelined at awkward moments. Though the Burnley loanee may well be in contention for the upcoming Preston North End match.
Jannik Vestergaard and Harry Souttar are supposedly ready to supply competition to defensive teammates Caleb Okoli, Ben Nelson and Jamaal Lascelles too. Having five fit centre backs is a real boost to bolster the Foxes.
Elsewhere, veteran goalkeeper and arguable LCFC No.1 Asmir Begovic will return in April too. Jakub Stolarczyk has become untrustworthy on the whole, so this is another welcome return.
Leicester City's injury worries
To cast eyes upon the physiotherapy tables of Seagrave is to behold a familiar, somber narrative. Over the years, the modern City suffered a recurring tragedy of anatomical fragility.
Mercifully, the current landscape does not represent the apex of such misfortune; the Blue Army have certainly endured far more catastrophically depleted squads in their recent history. Still, the contemporary setbacks do not arrive without their own poignant sting.
​The absences of both James and Ramsey occurred at particularly unenviable junctures of the campaign. The latter appears to have arrested his physical decline just in time to assist (enjoy the pun!) the team.

There is every likelihood that Ramsey's occasionally shimmering talent will be in contention for the impending Preston North End clash. To have such craft restored to the grass is a massive refresh for a squad caught in the quicksands of tactical pressure.
​Simultaneously, the defensive stable undergoes a robust renaissance. The towering duo of Vestergaard and Souttar are obviously eager to aid Gary Rowett. Such structural depth acts as a protective shield against the attritional anxieties of the run-in.
Furthermore, the goalkeeping department anticipates its own saviour. Begovic is scheduled for April. This is arguably a necessary intervention.
Stolarczyk has proved to be a rather shaky custodian on the whole, prone to nerve-shredding errors and the poor decision-making that invites problems. Begovic's poise will be a soothing balm.
