Enzo Maresca, the manager of Leicester City, has shared an update on his team’s injury situation, confirming that key players Badiashile and Fofana will remain sidelined for an extended period. “Unfortunately, Badiashile and Fofana are still out, and both are still going to be out for a long period,” Maresca stated during his press conference ahead of the weekend’s match.
The news comes as a blow to Leicester’s defensive options, with both players being crucial to the team’s backline. However, there is a silver lining, as Maresca confirmed that attacking duo Joao Felix and Noni Madueke are both fully fit and ready for selection. “Joao Felix and Noni Madueke are both fine,” Maresca reassured the media, offering some hope for Leicester’s offensive strength.
Despite the positive update on Felix and Madueke, Maresca noted that midfielder Roméo Lavia may struggle to feature in Sunday’s match, citing ongoing fitness concerns. “Roméo Lavia will struggle to play Sunday,” he added. The team will look to manage these injuries carefully as they prepare for the upcoming fixtures.
