Weso Out for 6 weeks

[Spanky Fox]

Leicester City midfielder James Wesolowski has suffered more injury heartache after being ruled out for up to six weeks.

The 20-year-old Australian limped off after 17 minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 Carling Cup win over Nottingham Forest with a damaged hamstring.

City boss Gary Megson said: “He's had a scan, it's a bad pull, and it could be four to six weeks.

“It's bad news for us and bad news for Jimbo. His career has been blighted by injuries. But he's a tough lad and he will be back.”

Wesolowski, who has twice suffered a broken leg during his City career, has formed an effective partnership with skipper Stephen Clemence this season.

Wesolowski's absence is now expected to speed up Megson's attempts to further strengthen the squad.

He said: “I have made a few phone calls, but it's hard to get good players in on loan, I'll keep pursuing things though.”

Megson has also responded to City chairman Milan Mandaric's blast at a section of fans at Forest who he said were “poisoning the club.”

Mandaric was angry with the chants in support of Martin Allen - the man Megson has replaced at the Walkers Stadium.

“I can understand the frustrations of the supporters and I won't criticise them,” said Megson.

“It's understandable they are a little wary. They want to see the club move forward - and so do I.

“I know where we would like to be, that's the easy bit. Getting there is the hard bit.”

Megson says the backing of the fans can help shape the future success of the team.

He said: “I looked around at Forest the other night and realised there were City supporters in the top tier of the away end, as well as the lower tier. There are not many teams who bring that sort of following.”

Gutted. Kishishev will come in obviously, and it sounds like he's been less than impressive thus far... do we have another CM though?

I thought Kish was MoM at Killie. Others have not been impressed since.

Every time Weso gets established he gets injured - let's hope he has better luck in future.

we could always try that superstar in the making Hellings

 

[David Gwilliam]

Very hard luck on Wesso. I had expected Kishishev to be a first team regular but have been disappointed in him so far. This will be a chance for him to prove he is worth his place. Also Hellings has not impressed the fans. Now might be the chance for him to prove them wrong.

I can see Megson bringing another Central Midfielder in on loan to cover.

Play Kish in the middle. He will be better.

 

[Spanky Fox]

Kamal Izzet?

 

[dpjfox]

more likely to go for Glen Whelan , looks like Kish against his old club unless King is as good as people say

 

[Leigh]

Kamal Izzet?

Joey?

 

[The Old Fox]

I'm really sorry fpr poor old Weso but, if it deflects us from going for Tyson and towards midfield cover, it won't be bad for the team in the long run. Clemence and Weso are ace but, who then?

 

[Macky]

Joey?

complete & utter Joey

 

[Lako42]

Kish was ****ing terrible in every sense of the word at accrington, if he plays we most certainly will not score many goals.

 

[foxin_oz]

We could use Ferreira in the midfield role ... he can play anywhere in midfield apparently ... might be interesting having him in central midfield ...

 

[Bilborough Fox]

What about playing Kaebi. Give him a chance, or is he too attack minded.

 

[Lako42]

or is he too attack minded.

Sounds about right, for us anyway

 

[Uncle Connolly]

If Kishishev does come in for Weso, can we all please support him because I'm sure he'll be good for us.

Kish seems to be the new season's target for the w*nker boo boys.
