As the head coach of the “retirees” Enzo Maresca announced during the pre-match press conference, his team’s captain Rhys James will not be able to participate in this confrontation – the English right-back recently returned from a hamstring injury, but was injured again.
“We only have one injured player and that’s Rhys. Unfortunately he’s picked up something minor, we don’t want to risk him at the weekend.
It’s a hamstring, muscle problem. Hopefully it won’t be something that lasts. He was supposed to play in the starting lineup. We do not know how long he will be absent – at least he will miss this tour.
It should try to avoid damage, but sometimes things happen even when you want to avoid them. I hope he can be available for the next match,” said Maresca.
As a reminder, the Leicester-Chelsea match will take place on Saturday, November 23, at 2:30 p.m. Kyiv time.
