Championship news: Potential double injury blow for Leicester City ahead of Sunderland match
When Leicester City plays Sunderland this week in the Championship, they might be without two wingers.
When Leicester City plays Sunderland this week in the Championship, they might be without two wingers.
The Foxes, who are currently atop the league standings after winning 11 of their first 12 Championship games this season, will play the Black Cats at King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
After defeating Swansea City 3-1 in Wales to maintain their five-point advantage at the top of the table, Leicester triumphed again on Saturday.
Akgun entered the game as a substitute in the 65th minute, however he left the pitch holding his thigh during injury time as the game came to a close.
During the news conference held after the match, the Leicester City manager stated, “I just asked him and he didn’t feel something important.” “It was nothing major, so hopefully he won’t lose any games or days. It was just something.” Let’s see. 
Since the winger’s hamstring strain a few weeks ago at Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City has been without Kasey McAteer.
Although he has not yet trained with Leicester City’s first team, the 21-year-old attacker is apparently making progress. If Akgun does not play against Sunderland, Maresca may be shorthanded by two wingers.
However, the Foxes do have Marc Albrighton, the FA Cup and Premier League winner, Stephy Mavididi, and Abdul Fatawu at their disposal.
