Injured Leicester City star returns for Nottingham Forest clash but five ruled out
News from Leicester City camp ahead of Sunday’s short trip to the City Ground to take on Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest
Facundo Buonanotte has come through his concussion protocol and is available for Leicester City’s clash with Nottingham Forest on Sunday (2.15pm kick-off).
The attacking midfielder was substituted at half-time in City’s 3-0 defeat to Wolves a fortnight ago after taking a blow to the head.
In the two weeks since, he’s been going through the concussion protocol and is now available to play when City travel north to take on neighbours Forest.
But no other players are back. Ricardo Pereira and Stephy Mavididi are the two injured players who could yet feature again this season, but neither will be available for selection at the City Ground.
Mads Hermansen, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Abdul Fatawu are out for the rest of the campaign.
“There’s one update on Facundo Buonanotte, who is back after his concussion against Wolves,” van Nistelrooy said at his press conference on Friday.
“He came through that process well. He’s available for Sunday. The other injuries are not available that we spoke about before.”
It seems Jeremy Monga will continue to be included in the matchday squad though. The 15-year-old has GCSEs to prepare for, but that won’t affect his involvement.
“He’s reporting every day,” van Nistelrooy said on Monga. “I’m asking him the questions on the maths and if he’s studied!
“Thankfully on Saturday and Sunday there’s no school, so he will be available for Sunday.”
