Recently, Leicester City have avoided the kind of injury crises that plagued them under Brendan Rodgers a few years ago.
That period was undoubtedly a challenging time for the Foxes’ medical team. Fortunately, fitness issues improved under Enzo Maresca during their Championship title-winning campaign.
This season, the East Midlands club has faced a few key injury problems, but overall, the squad has remained relatively healthy in 2024/25. In fact, Leicester’s injury list may soon be reduced to just two names.
However, those two names happen to be star players. When can we expect their return to action? And will their comebacks happen this season?
In other news, Leicester City appear to be planning for the future, and their recent business could prove to be shrewd. While the success of young talents is never guaranteed, reports suggest the Foxes may have secured the services of an Arsenal prospect. Let’s take a closer look at what’s been said.
Leicester City’s nearly fully fit squad with only a couple of key players sidelined:
Thankfully for the Foxes, the injury situation at the club is improving. Unlike previous seasons, there are no concerns about having more than 10 players unavailable at once this year. However, manager Ruud van Nistelrooy would undoubtedly love to have two influential players available as the team battles relegation.
On a positive note, right-back Ricardo Pereira is expected to return to action in March. The Portuguese defender is reportedly back on the training pitch, though it’s still too early for him to feature in competitive matches. Unfortunately for Leicester, Abdul Fatawu won’t be available until the start of the following season.
Foxes reportedly sign Arsenal starlet:
Leicester City have reportedly secured the signing of young Arsenal talent Bless Akolbire. Speculation began when the Premier League listed Akolbire on Leicester’s Under-21 squad roster instead of Arsenal’s. The youngster recently completed a trial with LCFC.
