Leicester City’s Conor Coady says that he’s ‘feeling good’ as he steps up his recovery from a fractured foot.
Coady joined Leicester City from Wolves in the summer.
The 30-year-old became a member of the Foxes this summer in one of several high-profile signings for a rumoured £7.5 million fee that might possibly increase to £ 8.5 million.
Coady hasn’t played for the Foxes yet, though. In preseason, he suffered a foot fracture, which has kept him out of action ever since.
Speaking in a recent interview on BBC5Live (as quoted by Leicestershire Live), Coady revealed some positive news regarding his injury, saying:
“It happened two weeks before the season, I was heartbroken. It was something I toyed with for a bit, but then I realized something was wrong, I ended up breaking my leg.
“I’ve never been injured before, so to come here and get it back at that point was a really shocking moment if I’m completely honest, but it’s something I’m looking forward to now.” . Now I’m back on the field with the boys, training, feeling good, feeling strong and hopefully we can attack the season now as much as possible.
Enzo Maresca’s Leicester City won their opening six games of the 2023/24 season before losing to Hull City last time out, sitting third in the table going into this international break.
A welcome return…
Leicester City have only conceded four goals in their opening five Championship fixtures. But they’ve only kept one clean sheet in those five too.
So having someone with Coady’s experience and quality in the defensive line will surely be a boost for Maresca, who’s done a good job so far, though there’s definite room for improvement with this Leicester City side.
It looks like Coady still has a way to go before he’s able to make his debut for the Foxes and expect Maresca to not rush him back to action.
But for the Foxes, Coady will be a very welcome return as they vie for an immediate return to the Premier League.
Up next for Leicester is a trip to Southampton on Friday night.
