The most recent Leicester City news as Enzo Maresca’s squad prepares to play Leeds United, who are now in third position, at the King Power Stadium on Friday night in an attempt to close the distance between the two clubs to 14 points.
After all three of his starters were forced off the field in their most recent game, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is quietly optimistic that he will be able to start three of his star players against Leicester City.
For the crucial Championship match on Friday night, the Whites go to King Power Stadium. Both sides enter the match in strong shape. With a win, City will attempt to extend their lead over Leeds in third place to ten league victories in a row.
Farke’s team defeated Huddersfield Town 4-1 on Saturday to turn around a 1-0 deficit against Stoke City. Nonetheless, his squad had some injury worries prior to the game.

Sam Bryam and Crysencio Summerville were substituted after the hour, with the former having scored twice in the first half. Following the game, Leeds’ manager verified that both players had experienced mild muscular issues at the interval.
A few minutes later, key defender Joe Rodon pulled up with what seemed to be a hamstring injury, giving Leeds still additional cause for concern. He has contributed significantly to Leeds’ recent success.
Following the match this past weekend, Farke provided an upbeat report about the trio’s probable availability versus City. According to LeedsLive, he stated, “Cry and Sam were reporting some minor muscle problems at half-time.” “We had to sub them off because we didn’t want to take any chances.
Joe Rodon felt something in his hamstring; it wasn’t an injury, but I had to take him off because of the exertion. Since Joe didn’t want to take a chance, I don’t believe there was much damage done.
