Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca made a lighthearted comment about possibly coming out of retirement to play for the team against Sunderland on Tuesday night. The team is facing a shortage of midfielders due to injuries to Ricardo Pereira and Dennis Praet as they aim to make their way back to the Premier League after being relegated last season.
Maresca expressed disappointment at Ricardo’s injury, which will keep him out of the game until after the international break. Praet also suffered a hamstring injury during the match against QPR, leaving the team with limited midfield options for the upcoming match against Sunderland.
Due to injuries and suspensions, the team is also dealing with limited striking options, and Maresca addressed the decision to leave Kelechi Iheanacho out of the squad, saying it was a difficult choice as Iheanacho is a good player who deserves to play. With a depleted squad, the team is facing challenges as they prepare for their upcoming match.
