On the eve of the new season, Leicester City suffered a severe injury setback when Patson Daka was sidelined for several months due to a catastrophic injury. The Zambian forward hobbled off during the team’s penultimate preseason match last weekend in Lens, and examinations by medical professionals revealed ankle injuries. After surgery on Friday, he may be sidelined for months. With no new players joining the team and Jamie Vardy still healing from his early-season injury, City’s sole available fit striker is Tom Cannon. Stephane The third outfield player on the injured list is Conor Coady. During last week’s open training session, he suffered a hamstring injury, which will keep him out of action until September.
Manager Steve Cooper told reporters during his press conference on Friday, “Patson, it’s not great news.” He sustained a pretty significant ankle injury last week. He will be absent for several months. Today he underwent surgery. It’s a great shame for him because he had a nice preseason appearance. Vards hasn’t played since the preseason’s second week due to injury. Though he is eager to return, it will take some time before he can return. At that point in the pitch, it’s not very good.
Vards is nearing the end of his rehabilitation. Before he fully recovers, it’s just a matter of making sure he can get through those last few stages. He knows his body and what it requires because of his age and experience. It won’t be the first time he has overcome an injury. We’ll collaborate and he’ll have a significant say in the process of returning.
Conor Coady’s hamstring injury will keep him out of action for a few more weeks. Luke Thomas is back at the gym. Even if they sign with the team over the weekend, there won’t be any new players in the starting lineup on Monday since the deadline for registering new signings has gone. Cooper considers who to pick in spite of the fact that it’s far from perfect.
