“Monga & Kristiansen CRIPPLED? Leicester City’s SHOCKING Injury Crisis EXPOSED Before Wrexham Showdown!”
Teen star suffers knee knock in 1-1 stalemate with West Brom
Leicester City are hoping teenage winger Jeremy Monga has recovered from the knock he suffered at West Brom as they gear up for their first midweek Championship fixture of the season on Tuesday night.
Monga hurt his knee during the 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns on Friday. The incident occurred when he attempted to win a free-kick, trying to skip around a defender.
As he began to fall before any contact was made, he collided knees with the West Brom player on his way down. The 16-year-old was booked for simulation in the process.
Although he was able to continue and finish the match, Monga looked uncomfortable and was later seen limping slightly during the post-match warm-down.
His fitness will be assessed ahead of the clash with Wrexham, with City potentially having 29 senior players available if he is passed fit.
Aaron Ramsey will remain sidelined as he serves the final game of a three-match suspension, while Harry Souttar continues to miss out as a long-term absentee.
On the positive side, Victor Kristiansen has returned fully to the squad.
The defender made his first appearance of the season on Friday, wearing a protective mask following a broken jaw sustained in the summer.
Manager Marti Cifuentes is expected to rotate his squad given the quick turnaround between fixtures.
He stressed the importance of maintaining focus after three consecutive draws.
“It’s going to be a real challenge for us,” Cifuentes said. “We’ve been disappointed with the results recently, and we need to improve.
Facing Wrexham in front of our home supporters is a good opportunity to go for the three points we want.
“Every player is contributing in their own way, and I believe that will continue on Tuesday. With matches coming thick and fast, everyone must be ready, and the depth of our squad will be vital over the season.”
