Leicester Hit by Shocking Injury Setback for Two Stars as Cooper Fears Threat from Football Legend
Leicester City has been hit with a double injury setback involving two of its key players. Both Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu, senior internationals for Ghana, have reportedly suffered injuries while away on international duty. Strangely, the issues occurred during the same match, with both players now returning to the UK for treatment. So, how serious are their injuries, and what could this mean for their time on the sidelines? Additionally, which Leicester players might step in to replace them if needed? Here’s what we know so far.
In other news, there’s more trouble for Steve Cooper, who is facing concerns unrelated to Leicester. The former Nottingham Forest manager is reportedly worried about the situation of a former Manchester United star. Why would a former Red Devils player be causing stress for Cooper, and does he have a legitimate reason to be concerned? We’ll explain in detail.
Steve Cooper’s Worries About Ruud van Nistelrooy
Steve Cooper, the Leicester City manager, is reportedly keeping an eye on former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy after his exit from United. While it may seem like an odd concern, Cooper’s situation could explain why he views Van Nistelrooy as a potential threat.
Cooper has yet to fully win over the Leicester fanbase or the club’s leadership, which puts his position in jeopardy. Despite his experience, the 44-year-old understands that his performance as manager might lead to his replacement, especially if Leicester’s results don’t improve. In this context, experienced and high-profile managers, like Van Nistelrooy, could be seen as potential successors. However, while speculation about Van Nistelrooy taking over at Leicester exists, it remains unsubstantiated at this stage.
Injury Setbacks for Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu
Leicester City may face some challenges with two of their players, Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu, both of whom have picked up injuries while on international duty with Ghana. Ayew, who has been impressive with his work rate and goal-scoring, was injured in Ghana’s 1-1 draw with Angola. Despite scoring a stunning goal, Ayew underwent scans after the match, which revealed a “significant” knee issue. Fatawu, who also started the match, was forced to leave the pitch in the first half due to an undisclosed injury.
As a result, both players have been ruled out of Ghana’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger. The Ghana Football Association confirmed that both Ayew and Fatawu would return to the UK for further treatment.
This leaves Leicester with a potential gap in their squad, but with cover available, it remains to be seen how Cooper will adjust his lineup if these players are sidelined for an extended period.
