Prior to the Southampton clash on Tuesday evening, we are attempting to round-up every Leicester City injury. Why do I state that this is an attempt? Well, managers can't speak to the media every day in order to update them constantly. Even with the jam-packed Sky Bet Championship schedule, there are not consistent reports from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
Even when Leicester head coach Marti Cifuentes does conduct a press conference, for example, he does not and cannot give every piece of information on every single LCFC player. We get scraps of info' here and there and almost create our own case history in order to give the readership the best low-down on the squad.
That way, fan sites like us can predict which Foxes are available or unavailable. Subsequently and consequently we are able to forecast starting lineups and the probability of what Cifuentes has cooking or not. That being said, what's the latest fitness news on Filbert Way?
Today (Monday, November 24) we assess defender Ricardo Pereira, full back Victor Kristiansen, centre back Ben Nelson, fellow centre half Caleb Okoli and attacking midfielder Aaron Ramsey. Not to mention long-time absentee Harry Souttar. A left back is also suspended; so it's Code Red in the King Power defence at the moment, as they say!
Details on 7 (seven) Leicester City stars
First of all, Luke Thomas earned his fifth yellow card of the season versus Stoke City. This means he's not selectable for the Saints fixture in the week.
Ramsey remains unfit at present; as does Souttar. Meanwhile Ricardo Pereira's hamstring has been figuratively wrapped in cotton wool this term. Meaning he may miss another midweek clash.
Okoli's medical results are due at the start of the week. Nelson and Kristiansen are not respectively ready either.
"But the problems in defence don’t end there. Ben Nelson is out with an ankle issue while City are waiting on scan results for Caleb Okoli, who was substituted with a shoulder injury and a knock to the head at Norwich."Leicester Mercury
