Injury News Dennis Praet

[Micky]

Reports in Belgium saying he has torn his hamstring and it out for 3 months.

That is a big shame for him and for the squad. Hes been quality this season and played a big part in some big performances. Depending on finances this could force us to change transfer plans.
With the best will in the world, Choudhury is no Praet. Potentially you could say that Ricardo and Castagne can play that athletic inside right role while the other plays full back and so Ricardo coming back in is well timed.
Albrighton is obviously keeping Praet on the bench in some big games so is another great option.
It doesn't give us much back up though considering both of those players have been out long term with injury.
I'd say a striker or flexible forward is still the bigger priority, but bad news for Rodgers and Praet.

Maybe we should bring KDH back.

Maybe we should bring KDH back.

Every time I read this my brain says “Kevin De Hueyne” and it takes me a second to realise it’s Dewsbury-Hall. Derp.

Maybe we should bring KDH back.

I think that’s the best option.

Who or what is Kevin De Hueyne?

Kevin de Bruyne but wrong.

Thus, derp.

Oh I see

 

[Rock Fox]

Fine margins and bad luck - a second away from a goal scoring opportunity - but pulls up with a torn hamstring. Here's hoping Dennis makes a full recovery in time to make the squad for our Europa League Cup final.

 

[TommyK]

Can we bring him back? Or is this a back for playoffs joke I've missed?

 

[Graz]

That's such a shame as he's been an important player and a good option this season.

I think we do need cover but it can't be prioritised over an attacker, so bringing Dewsbury Hall back could be a good option.

Shame Andy King just signed for Leuven...

 

[Skitzo]

if he is out for 3 months then bringing KDH back becomes a big option for me, a more creative no 8 type possible the only real back up, style wise, to Tielemans we have, but if we bring him back he HAS to get lots of minutes to make it worth while

Talksport saying their sources at Leicester are telling them Dewsbury-Hall will be recalled from Luton

 

[Skitzo]

Geoff Peters is very clued up if it came from him then its likely true

Would that be brown or red??

 

[sparky79]

Maybe we should bring KDH back.

Maybe we could send them Choudhury and bring KDH back as he's more similar (if not the same quality) as Praet.

 

[Skitzo]

aren't we sending Choudhury to WBA to make sure they go down?

 

[londonfox]

ibut if we bring him back he HAS to get lots of minutes to make it worth while

No he doesn’t. He’s our player and if we need him as backup then that’s what we should do. If everyone stays fit and he barely plays, it’s still worth bringing him back to cover all eventualities.

if we bring him back to cover Praet he should be getting the minutes Praet would have gotten, as none of the other options are creative, had it been a DM who got injured I wouldn't want him back here not playing, we did the same to Barnes after the Barnsley loan was cut short and for me that was a waste
