Leicester City gears up for a face-off against Stoke City on Saturday, with the return of James Justin and Abdul Fatawu adding firepower to their squad.
The team, currently leading the Championship by 10 points after a triumphant midweek clash with Swansea, anticipates Justin’s comeback after missing the last game due to a fever. Fatawu, back from a three-match suspension for a red card at Coventry, is deemed crucial by manager Maresca for his dynamic winger prowess.
Maresca expressed his excitement about Fatawu’s return, highlighting his one-v-one skills and ability to create danger. However, the decision on whether he starts or comes off the bench will depend on the game dynamics. With only three players missing for the upcoming match, including Ndidi’s injury and Souttar and Iheanacho on international duty, Leicester City looks to maintain its dominance in the Championship. Souttar is expected to return soon after Australia’s exit from the Asian Cup, leaving the team with a competitive edge as they eye continued success in the league.
