Maresca: Squad Injury-Free

Enzo Maresca has a complete selection of players available for Monday’s trip to Preston North End for Leicester City.

Leicester City gears up for a crucial match against Preston North End at Deepdale on Monday, with a potential win paving the way for their promotion back to the Premier League. Manager Enzo Maresca has assured fans that the squad is in good shape, with no injury concerns hampering their preparations for the game. This news comes as a relief for the Foxes, who are keen to secure their promotion with a strong performance in Lancashire before their final-day showdown against Blackburn Rovers.

Maresca expressed his confidence in the team’s fitness during a press conference on Friday, confirming the availability of all players for selection. Even Marc Albrighton, who had been dealing with some minor issues, has returned to full fitness. Additionally, Kasey McAteer’s return to the squad provides a boost as Leicester City aims to finish the job and secure promotion to the Premier League.

One player who has been closely monitored is Ricardo Pereira, who made a comeback in the recent victory over Southampton after being rested in the previous game against West Bromwich Albion. Maresca reassured fans about Pereira’s condition, stating that the decision to rest him was precautionary due to some minor issues before the West Bromwich game. Despite Hamza Choudhury’s impressive performance in Pereira’s absence, Maresca emphasized Pereira’s fitness and readiness to contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming matches.
