Leicester’s injury comeback dates include Coady, Praet, and Cannon.
Leicester City injury news and potential return dates for defender Conor Coady, midfielder Dennis Praet, and newly signed attacker Tom Cannon are shown below. In addition to covering fitness-related concerns, Foxes of Leicester discuss other themes raised by head coach Enzo Maresca in his latest Foxes press conference ahead of LCFC’s key match against Premier League promotion opponents Southampton.
Leicester City went from top to third in the Championship after a disastrous performance against Hull City at King Power Stadium. That is not a huge downgrade, nor is the outcome anything the Italian in charge or the devoted Blue Army should be concerned about at this point. Besides, the start to the 2023/24 season was abundant before the Foxes fought the Tigers. Maresca must get his team winning again, even if not in the convincing manner that Leicester fans have grown accustomed to. Having said that champions frequently ‘win ugly’. The aim is automatic promotion; a playoff run could be difficult.
Fortunately, one player who will undoubtedly be crucial to the East Midlands team’s cause is due to make his competitive debut soon. Conor Coady could be in the matchday squad on Friday to face the Saints; Coady is not considered to be at full strength, but he remains crucial. Meanwhile, Dennis Praet and newcomer Tom Cannon remain out.

Maresca just mentioned Patson Daka, which is intriguing. Many expected the Zambia international to leave over the summer. This viewpoint evolved as a result of the striker’s lack of favor with the LCFC manager. However, the former Manchester City employee stated that Daka may return in the appropriate circumstances:
“He [Daka] was one of the players who could leave, but he did not.” He’s now here and one of the players. We’ll utilize him if we need him. He’s a fast player who can attack from behind. He can link in the manner in which we wish to play. He’s a total player.”
