We need him rested and ready for Bayern away leg.

I think he will start GIo’s son instead of Jack and that’s about it

With Foden out, we appear to be down to 15 players, maybe closer to 14. Laporte has only played two league games back-to-back all season and has played 1,305 minutes, so about 14.5 games, which means even if he does come in, he's going to be patchy.

Foden seemed to be okay running on to the pitch last night!

We need him rested and ready for Bayern away leg.

He's spent enough time on the bench in the last few games, keep him playing. They have a day off today, get them rested and massages etc, then back in. The players are now used to games every 3 days, we have 2 of those and then Sheff U so play now and rest in the cup.

Thought a few of them looked dead on their feet towards the end last night, i don't expect to see Stones & Kev...surely it's a lovely game for Phillips to slot in?

We bought him exactly for this type of game at this time of the season,but its fairly obvious Pep has no confidence in his ability to stand in for Rodri.

I think the best we hope for is that Rodri has earnt a rest after 60mins.

 

[aka blue jambo]

We're staying on M6

Saw on local news in the hotel that Manchester marathon is on

Foden seemed to be okay running on to the pitch last night!

The NHS advises 4-6 weeks before returning to strenuous exercise after such surgery.

 

[Gorbachev]

Always wary of a team with a new manager, especially at this stage of the season when it is literally backs against the wall, David vs Goliath type moments.

This is a game that even for Leicester they cannot afford to drop points. If Everton and Leeds win then there is at least a 5 point gap between 17th and Leicester in 19th.

I can see Stones and KDB sitting this out, mayve gundo too. With Mahrez and Alvarez coming in and either Rico or Walker.
