We are just 13 league games into the season, and injuries and suspensions soon will stretch this squad to their limits, which of course will stress Enzo Maresca in his hunt for points going forward. Patson Daka has been a member of the squad on various occasions, and yesterday it was also time to enter the field for a few minutes of Championship football. Danny Ward was on the bench alongside Jacub Stolarczyk as Enzo Maresca again named two goalkeepers on the subs bench. Wilfred Ndidi missed the game with a muscle drain
All legs will be required until the next transfer window, as demonstrated by the fact that Marc Albrighton and Patson Daka both saw playing time yesterday and that Marcal Madivadua is back on the bench.
Leicester has received 34 yellow cards thus far; only Southampton and Stoke have received 35, and they are ahead. Receiving nearly three yellow cards in each game indicates that the usage of fouls is at the incorrect end of the table, as evidenced by the impending number of players losing their spots due to suspension. Due to suspension, Harry Winks and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall—both on four cards—may be out of commission shortly.
The following is the list:
Jannik Vestergaard (7, Harry Winks 4, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 4, Mads Hermansen 1, Ricardo Pereira 3, Stephy Mavididi 3, Wout Faes 2, Callum Doyle 1, Abdul Fatawu 3, James Justin 2, Yanus Akgun 1, Kasey McAteer 1, Jamie Vardy 1) are the players with yellow cards.
Every member of the team may be stretched in this scenario, so having top players like Patson Daka and Marc Albrighton at your disposal might be quite valuable. After all, we have all seen winning teams in games where their performances were unconvincing.
