Leicester City fans have reacted to Filip Benkovic’s injury blow against Wigan Athletic.
Brendan Rodgers’ side won 2-0 in the third round of the FA Cup and are now looking to fight on three fronts; they are second in the Premier League, face Aston Villa in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday, and remain in the hat in the aforementioned competition.
Calling all Premier League experts: Who do these unique statistics belong to? Find out below….
Benkovic has only played once for the club at senior level, in the EFL Cup tie against Fleetwood Town earlier this season.
And some supporters have expressed their disappointment at his setback.
However, others have claimed that Benkovic is simply too injury prone to be playing for the Foxes.
The stats suggest that he has not missed a single day through injuries at the King Power Stadium, although he did miss 12 games for Celtic in 2018/19.
However, his absences from Rodgers’ squad in the league may have painted a false picture, leading to such tweets as the ones below.
Wes Morgan was also injured against Wigan, leaving Rodgers with just two fit senior centre-backs: Caglar Soyuncu and Jonny Evans.
As the business end of the season approaches, one has to wonder what action the ex-Liverpool boss will take to remedy the situation, particularly with the January transfer window open for business.
Meanwhile, Leicester fans have swooned over one man.
