Leicester City F.C
Prior to Chelsea, Leicester City already know about the £100 million issue.
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as Chelsea will be missing a star player against the Foxes in the FA Cup.
An injury to one of Chelsea’s star players will prevent them from playing Leicester City in the FA Cup quarterfinals is a setback for the team.
Next month, Enzo Maresca’s Foxes will play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the tournament’s final eight. Midweek saw Leicester defeat Premier League Bournemouth in the fifth round, while Leeds United was defeated by Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues in their fifth round matchup.
However, Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder worth £100 million for Chelsea, will be absent against City following his second booking of the FA Cup this year, which came in the team’s victory over Leeds. After receiving a booking for removing his shirt to celebrate scoring a goal against Aston Villa in the previous round, he was cautioned for dissent.
Pochettino, who acknowledged Chelsea weren’t playing at their best even though they defeated Leeds, will be hurt by his absence. “That wasn’t a very good performance. “(Leeds) were a confident and formidable team, performing exceptionally well in the Championship,” he remarked.
“We found it difficult to concede after a short while.” But there is something the team can learn from the character we displayed in this circumstance. I’m overjoyed. We stayed away from extra time. Our goal was to advance to the quarterfinals.
