The latest fitness update before the Championship season finale against Blackburn, with Maresca hinting at rotations to provide players a final opportunity on the pitch for the club.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will sit out Leicester City’s last match of the season as Enzo Maresca contemplates offering a farewell appearance to departing players.
Dewsbury-Hall sustained an injury during the 3-0 win over Preston, which secured the title for City, and was spotted at the club’s awards ceremony with ankle strapping. However, Jamie Vardy is fit to play despite an eye injury. With nearly a full squad to choose from, Maresca may prioritize players who are leaving the club.
Six players are out of contract, including Marc Albrighton, who is expected to depart. While Vardy’s future seems secure, emotional farewells could influence team selection. Maresca confirmed Dewsbury-Hall’s absence due to a minor issue but indicated potential changes to the lineup to accommodate departing players.
Alongside Vardy and Albrighton, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Jannik Vestergaard, and Dennis Praet are nearing the end of their contracts, while Callum Doyle, Yunus Akgun, and Abdul Fatawu are concluding their loan spells, with the latter likely to secure a permanent move to the club.
