SHOCKING LEICESTER CRISIS: Marti Cifuentes Faces IMPOSSIBLE 5-WAY CHOICE to Save Season After Star’s DEVASTATING Injury – ONE Wrong Move Could END EVERYTHING!

When a hamstring “pops,” as Marti Cifuentes described Aaron Ramsey’s injury, it typically signals a spell on the sidelines — and that’s exactly what Leicester City fear. It’s a major blow for the team and for Ramsey himself.

After a rocky start to his loan spell from Burnley — which began with a red card on debut — the midfielder has since become one of City’s standout performers.

Over the past week, he has scored both of their goals and been central to much of their best attacking play.

Now, Cifuentes faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement. Louis Page would have been a logical choice, but he’s heading to Qatar with England for the Under-17 World Cup.

That leaves the City boss with a handful of other possible options to consider.

One of the leading candidates — fitness permitting — is Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Unfortunately, the Jamaican international is also sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Before his setback, De Cordova-Reid impressed as an attacking midfielder in the draw with Wrexham, linking up well with Jordan James, Harry Winks, and Jeremy Monga.

Although he struggled to replicate that form against Swansea, his initial display was promising enough to suggest he could play a key role once fit again.

However, his ongoing fitness concerns mean he might not be ready for the upcoming clash with Blackburn.

Another potential option is Boubakary Soumare. When Ramsey was rested against Hull, Soumare was chosen to replace him.

Though he endured a difficult opening spell, his performance improved as the game progressed.

The Frenchman is more comfortable operating from deeper positions, where he can drive forward with the ball.

When pushed higher up, he tends to look uneasy, though he still contributes by creating space for attacking teammates like Abdul Fatawu.

Oliver Skipp could also come back into the picture. The midfielder started four of the first five league matches but has featured for only 20 minutes across the last seven.

Ramsey’s absence might offer him a path back into the side. Skipp’s energy and ability to connect play in advanced areas are valuable assets, though he doesn’t pose much of a direct goal threat.

Another intriguing option is Stephy Mavididi, who recently returned from his own hamstring injury.

He came off the bench to play centrally against Millwall but had limited impact — perhaps due to rustiness.

While not a natural central player, Mavididi’s agility, dribbling skills, and attacking instinct make him an exciting, if unconventional, candidate.

Deploying him through the middle would also allow Cifuentes to field him alongside Abdul Fatawu and Jeremy Monga in the same lineup.

Finally, there’s Jordan Ayew. When Ramsey went off injured on Saturday, Julian Carranza came on, and Ayew dropped deeper into midfield.

Given his tendency to link play and drop off even when deployed as a striker, this role could suit him.

His hold-up play and ability to bring others into the game are strengths, but he lacks the pace, energy, and off-the-ball movement that Ramsey provides.

For Cifuentes, choosing Ramsey’s replacement will not be easy — each option offers something different, but none replicate what the Burnley loanee brings to the side.
