His return will be a big boost. We have to treat him carefully but just seeing him on the bench would be a big plus. No. My guess is they hope he can gain some minutes in U23 games a week on Sunday, and then the following Friday. Perhaps he might make the bench for Brentford, which is two weeks on Sunday. If he's come through the U23 games I'd do that to give him a psychological boost, and let's say we were in a comfortable position with 20 minutes left, bring him on. Then there is a two week break. Then, hopefully, when we resume in early April, he is in the MatchDay squad. So let's hope he gets 45 minutes for the U23s a week on Sunday, then give him 60 minutes in the subsequent U23 games five days later. Simulating a normal pre-season. Absolutely no point throwing him in before then. You could have him on the bench for Rennes away a week on Thursday. Again, if we're comfortably ahead, or behind, with 20 minutes left we bring him on (5 subs in Europe). This is all speculation on my part. But it's more fun than doing the work I should be doing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, Man U game I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post moore_94 Posted 5 March 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 5 March 2022 (edited) In talks for a new deal, might be signed soon http://sportwitness.co.uk/towards-an-extension-leicester-man-linked-to-euro-giants-in-talks-to-sign-new-contract-deal-could-be-announced-soon/ According to L’Equipe, the former Saint-Étienne man has returned to full training for the last three weeks. They also provide an update on the efforts made by the Premier League side to tie him down to a long-term deal. Their title reads: ‘Towards an extension of Wesley Fofana at Leicester City’. Within the report, it’s claimed the player has been in talks with the English club’s leaders for several weeks and ‘they could succeed quickly’. Brendan Rodgers’ side face Rennes in the UEFA Conference League tie next week and Fofana could be in contention to face the Ligue 1 side. Before that fixture, Leicester ‘could announce the extension of his contract’. If all goes well, Fofana should sign a new deal that will keep him at Leicester until 2027.

StanSP Posted 5 March 2022 Author Share Posted 5 March 2022 That would be superb. Remember when we used to do half time or pre-match announcements. This could bring back that trend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way it’s perfect chance to get him signed up Club will know how he has recovered which should be straightforward…. if he signs to 2027 we have one of the best defenders in the world on our books for 5 years…..he won’t be here 3 but we will get a ridiculous sum for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 Have to anticipate niggly injuries he will pick up in his first games as that’s natural line tight hamstrings, calf’s etc plus any knocks from fouls and collisions all part of the game until he becomes match fit so In one game and out the next. Atleast that’s what we’ve seen with Ricardo, madders, JJ and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
