Leicester City: Key Player Ruled Out, Missing Five Players vs Aston Villa
Leicester City’s upcoming match against Aston Villa is set to be a challenging one, with key player Mads Hermansen ruled out due to a lingering groin problem. Hermansen, the team’s number one goalkeeper, has already missed three matches since sustaining the injury during a 4-0 loss to Newcastle. Despite initial hopes for a swift recovery, Hermansen’s rehabilitation is taking longer than expected, prompting City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy to rely on Jakub Stolarczyk in goal until Hermansen is fully fit.
Hermansen’s Absence and Stolarczyk’s Role
Van Nistelrooy confirmed Hermansen’s unavailability in a recent press conference, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the player’s complete recovery before his return to the pitch. This decision places the spotlight on Stolarczyk, who will step up as the goalkeeper for upcoming matches against Aston Villa, QPR in the FA Cup, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Additional Missing Players and Potential Returns
In addition to Hermansen, Leicester City will also be without several other key players for the Aston Villa clash. Kasey McAteer, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, and Abdul Fatawu are sidelined with various injuries, further complicating the team’s lineup. However, there is hope for the return of Jordan Ayew from suspension and Wout Faes from injury, providing some relief for the squad.
