Leicester's latest injury blow a bigger problem than fans may think?

Injuries haven't been as much of a problem on Filbert Way this season for Leicester City Football Club as they were in recent years. As a matter of fact, mostly, the absentees haven't been the main stars of the Foxes side. Nor have the convalescents even been starters at times, nor the most regularly utilised substitutes.

In recent previous years, the East Midlanders were affected by a veritable plague of significant injury issues. In spite of not being able to get a consistent, mellifluous tune out of his baffling LCFC roster, (current) manager Marti Cifuentes cannot point to that particular get-out clause as a reason for his persistent setbacks and possible (and, plausibly, eventual) downfall.

By the way, I have recently joined the growing (and particularly vocal) Cifuentes-out brigade. I usually try to leave it as long as possible before doing so. At Foxes of Leicester, we always try to point to the problems whilst trying to comprehensively analyse the Foxes situation at any given moment.

Yet this set of damning statistics attributed to the Catalonian and his overpaid and underachieving squad altered my stance entirely. So the last thing that the ex-Queens Park Rangers head coach needed was to lose a (prospectively) helpful player to injury.

The latest Leicester City injury blow to Aaron Ramsey may become a more annoying problem than Foxes fans might have perhaps realised

Ramsey could have been a great loan signing; he did contribute a couple of fairly important goals on the rare occasions that he's been in a blue shirt this season. However, the Burnley loanee could now be sidelined until late February.

Therefore, with a two-month layoff on the cards, City would ideally cancel Ramsey's temporary stay at the King Power in favour of signing another baller. But rumours suggest that the possibility may be difficult.

There is a strong chance that the Clarets understand the situation and could leave LCFC with the burden and wages. This could conceivably make City reconsider signing another midfielder; they are permitted further loans, however.
