Breaking News: Steve Cooper confirms ‘not fantastic’ injury news for Leicester City vs Tottenham, with three ruled out
Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has spoken ahead of Monday night’s game against Tottenham.
Leicester City manager Steve Cooper has provided the most recent health update on his team ahead of their encounter with Tottenham on Monday night. Manchester United narrowly defeated Fulham at Old Trafford on Friday night, kicking off the Premier League season.
Tottenham must wait until Monday to begin their new campaign, when they face newly promoted Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Ange Postecoglou’s men will want to win a top four finish this season, and the board has backed the Australian manager this summer, awarding him a number of big-money recruits, including Dominic Solanki and Archie Gray.
Leicester have been unable to make significant investments since their return to the Premier League, as they have struggled to comply with Financial Fair Play rules in recent years. The Foxes also have some injuries going into the Spurs game, with Cooper stating in his press conference, as reported by LeicestershireLive, that “Patson (Daka) is not fantastic. He had a major ankle injury. He had an operation and will be out for several months. wards (Jamie Vardy) has been injured since the second week of preseason; he is getting closer to a return, but it will take some time. It is not excellent.
Conor Coady will be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury. Vards is in the latter phases of treatment. With his expertise, he understands his body and will have a significant say in the return process.”
