Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca is hopeful that injured stars Ricardo Pereira, Jamie Vardy, and Dennis Praet will make their long-awaited returns to fitness as the Championship season reaches its climax with a busy Easter weekend ahead.
After missing the past few matches with a hamstring injury, Ricardo is expected to be back in action after the international break. His presence has been sorely missed, and his return could provide a major boost for City in upcoming fixtures against Bristol City and Norwich.
Vardy, the team’s top scorer, is recovering from a recent injury and his availability for the Bristol City game remains uncertain. However, Maresca is confident that it is not a serious concern.
Praet, who sustained a hamstring injury earlier this month, is nearing a return to the squad after a few weeks on the sidelines. Unfortunately, Kasey McAteer is unlikely to feature due to his ongoing fitness issues.
Despite a suspension for Callum Doyle, there are potential replacements waiting in the wings, including Will Alves who has been working his way back from a long-term injury and may feature in the squad for the upcoming matches.
Overall, the return of these key players will be crucial for Leicester City as they look to finish the season strongly in the Championship run-in.
