Leicester City faces a potential setback as defensive stalwart Jannik Vestergaard could miss the upcoming clash against Watford due to a mysterious first-half injury against Stoke.
Under Enzo Maresca’s management, Vestergaard has been a constant presence in the Championship, a stark contrast to his situation a year ago under Brendan Rodgers.
Despite City’s 5-0 victory with Vestergaard being subbed off at halftime, Maresca revealed concerns about a muscle issue. Kasey McAteer’s halftime substitution was a strategic move to avoid a red card after a yellow in the first half.
With Vestergaard’s fitness uncertain, Maresca faces a dilemma for the Watford match, considering impressive youngster Ben Nelson or experienced Conor Coady as potential replacements.
