The Athletic have named four Leicester City players who will likely get respective chances to impress during the preseason fixtures. LCFC already have practice matches arranged versus OH Leuven, Peterborough United and Fiorentina. Buy transfers are tricky on Filbert Way at the moment. In fact, and partly due to the Foxes' financial woes linked to Profit and Sustainability rules, a promising quartet could be heavily involved at least before the 2025/26 campaign starts.
Ben Nelson, Will Alves, Silko Thomas and Brandon Cover are all young Leicester City players to look out for during the offseason. There are, of course, always winners and losers in these situation. Luckily, Leicester-specialist reporter Rob Tanner was also on hand to reveal those who will probably not be given a chance. This other group could temporarily or permanently depart King Power Stadium.
The players predicted to go on loan, be sold or left to wonder
The club and its squad are in total Iimbo at present. PSRs, as previously mentioned, halt any transfer progress. Meanwhile not having a new manager in place, or failing to publicly back Ruud van Nistelrooy, means the Foxes' playing personnel are mired in awkward uncertainty.
Though Tanner, usually a particularly trustworthy LCFC oracle, still believes he can appraise the City roster efficiently. He suspects that opportunities will be slim for Sammy Braybrooke, Wanya Marcal, Amani Richards and Chris Popov. They could all be loaned.

However, news for four other prospects is much better. Nelson, Alves, Thomas and Cover are set to feature versus OHL, Peterborough, or even the famous la Viola. Nelson is one defender Foxes of Leicester has tipped for success this year.
