With eight victories out of nine in the Championship thus far, it’s safe to say Leicester City has had a strong start to the year.
The Foxes already appear to be strong contenders to return immediately to the Premier League after the disappointment of relegation.
Following that, we’ve included some of the most recent news on the football team right now, including an important injury report from Enzo Maresca and remarks from former striker Emile Heskey on two current Foxes.
Update on Kasey McAteer’s injury
The health of Kasey McAteer is one of the most recent news stories involving Leicester City.
This season, the 21-year-old has made seven appearances in the Championship and scored four goals.
However, it appears that he has played in his final league game for the time being. According to Enzo Maresca, he will be sidelined for four to six weeks due to a hamstring injury acquired on Sunday while playing away at Blackburn Rovers.
According to LCFC.com, Maresca stated to the media about his injury: “It will take between four and six weeks.
“Kasey McAteer is leading in scoring; we are in serious trouble!”
He was doing so well, so we are disappointed. He’s a fantastic guy who is both joyful and hungry. It’s unfortunate for him.
“It’s only for six weeks, but after a strong start, it’s definitely a good time for him to recover. He will return to us soon.
Stephy Mavididi is discussed by Emile Heskey.
Emile Heskey has spoken about Kelechi Iheanacho in addition to Mavididi since the team was successful in keeping him this summer.
Heskey called the striker a superb goal scorer and said it was amazing the club was able to maintain him.
When asked if he was surprised that Leicester were able to retain Iheanacho this summer, Heskey responded, “Yes and no,” speaking on behalf of sharemarketcap.com to Football League World.
“Iheanacho is quite at home in Leicester, and the supporters definitely adore him.
He is a superb goal scorer, and whether he begins the game or comes on, he usually makes a significant contribution to the team’s goals.
He either scores or assists; either way, it’s amazing.
I found it extremely intriguing that they were able to keep him, but it’s excellent since Leicester has a lot of Premier League stars among their roster.
