Enzo Maresca drops Leicester City defender hint and makes striker admission
Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has a couple of selection decisions to ponder ahead of the trip to Watford on Saturday
Enzo Maresca has been left with a decision to make on Saturday afternoon when he guides Leicester to Watford, having confirmed the absence of routine centre half pick Jannik Vestergaard. The towering Dane has a minor hamstring issue which ought to be resolved at some stage during the Foxes’ King Power Stadium double header next week.
In the meantime, City head to Vicarage Road having to cope without him and Maresca must turn to another to partner Wout Faes at the heart of defence – not that he’s particularly short on options. Teenage defender Ben Nelson, who signed a new contract in December, replaced Vestergaard in the 5-0 hammering of Stoke last week and impressed. He’s slowly been earning more first-team minutes in recent months.
