Massive Blow to Foxes”- Key Leicester City Duo Face Suspension Risk Ahead of Man Utd Match, a Potential Setback for Steve Cooper
Two Key Leicester City Players Face Impending Suspensions in Premier League
Leicester City’s fight for Premier League survival in the 2024/25 season took a significant turn this weekend as a late equalizer from Jordan Ayew led to a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.
Despite the hosts playing with ten men, Leicester had opportunities to secure all three points but managed only a draw, which at least denied Ipswich their first Premier League win of the season.
Upcoming matches against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Brentford will pose serious challenges for Steve Cooper’s squad, especially as they might soon be missing one or two key players during this tough stretch, which could create significant difficulties for the Foxes’ boss.
Leicester City Could Soon Be Without Key Attackers
For Leicester City to secure victories in their upcoming fixtures, they will need to be at their best. This task will become more challenging due to the potential suspensions of attacking duo Facundo Buonanotte and Ayew. According to the Premier League website, both players currently have four yellow cards, and receiving one more within the first 19 games will result in a one-match ban.
Buonanotte and Ayew have been vital contributors so far this season, combining for five goals.
Potential Absences Could Weaken Leicester’s Attack
Leicester has struggled with their attacking performance this season, and it’s clear that some new signings haven’t fully settled at the King Power Stadium. While Jamie Vardy has been a standout performer, Buonanotte and Ayew have also made significant contributions and have become key figures in the starting lineup.
Should either player be suspended, Cooper will need to reassess his options, which could disrupt the team’s recent improvement in scoring.
Argentinian winger Buonanotte, in particular, has a tendency to let frustration get the better of him, as seen in recent matches. Another incident could leave Cooper without a crucial player in the coming weeks.
