Leicester’s injuries and suspensions: Date of Kasey McAteer’s return
Leicester’s Foxes are in an unusually depressed mood since the brightest new Fox on the block has been hurt. We look at a likely Kasey McAteer comeback date as well as other Leicester City injury and suspension news.
A true breakout star. The pinnacle of. McAteer is the new Filbert Way fan favorite. He is, after all, the season’s leading scorer. What a journey the winger has had from potential to loanee to unstoppable starter. The Premier League is looking forward to his arrival, hopefully with Leicester in 2024/25. However, the young Englishman has been injured, which is bad for the Foxes. The incident occurred in front of a large crowd at Blackburn Rovers’ Ewood Park, and it was televised. Everyone watching on TV or on the ground understood right once that McAteer was in trouble. It was actually quite tough to watch, which was exacerbated by the fact that it was a young professional clearly in pain and in tears.
Head coach Enzo Maresca announced the length of his player’s absence during Tuesday’s LCFC press conference before the east Midlands team’s match against Preston North End. The 21-year-old will be gone for at least a month and could be away for up to six weeks. These are trying times. As a result, McAteer is unlikely to play in the important game against Leeds United. He could return for the games against Middlesbrough and Watford. Unfortunately, the resurrected Jannik Vestergaard will also miss the Preston game due to a one-match suspension. Maresca disclosed no new injuries.
Despite his success, Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City says that changing positions was difficult.
Ndidi has been open about his challenges adapting to a new style and changing his role in the side. The Nigeria international stated that transitioning from defensive to offensive midfield is difficult. He’s certainly made it appear that way to us!
