Leicester City’s manager, Enzo Maresca, is uncertain about the severity of defender Wout Faes’ injury sustained during the match against Sheffield Wednesday. The team drew 1-1 in the Championship clash, which was disappointing for the club, but the potential loss of the Belgian centre-back could be even worse.
Faes has been a consistent presence in the Foxes’ lineup this season, featuring in 15 of their league games. However, he may have to take a short break on the sidelines due to a dead leg injury.
Maresca shared an update on Faes’ condition after the game, revealing that he had suffered a kick resulting in a dead leg. The injury had caused some swelling, and although Faes is currently okay, it remains uncertain if he will be available for the upcoming match against West Brom on Saturday.
The clash with West Brom will pose a real challenge for Leicester City as the Baggies are in good form. Faes’ availability could be crucial for the team’s success, and they are hopeful that he will recover quickly from this setback in the next few days.
Despite the draw against Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City still maintains their position at the top of the Championship table. They are eight points ahead of third-placed Leeds United and appear to be in a strong position to make an immediate return to the Premier League.
Ensuring key players are available as much as possible is vital to their aspirations, therefore it is hoped that Faes will not be sidelined for the demanding test this weekend. The diagnosis of a dead leg injury usually does not keep players out for an extended period, so everyone is optimistic that he will be ready for the West Brom game.
Maresca is expected to provide a fresh update during his pre-match conference, and fans are eagerly anticipating any news regarding Faes’ condition.
