Wow. When you see it written out like that…

Strong case for at least four, if not five, of them being nailed on starters, regardless of whoever else is fit and the formation we play.

Feels like Phillips, Placheta, and Cam could be back after the international break, and from the little we do know I’d hope Dembele and Edwards rent far away.

I guess in our favour is that if a few of these are fit enough to be training, they have a good couple of weeks to ramp it up.

There's also Max Woltman, though doesn't really affect the first team much.

Bit harsh. I'm quite happy for them to live locally!!

Forgot about him! Added.

Get them all back and we’ll be top 6

Not only that, there’s an argument that three of them would be our best players, or at least in the top 5! (Brannagan, Dembele, Nelson)

Ben Nelson *was* sent for a scan after coming off on Tuesday, according to Leicester correspondent for The Athletic, Rob Tanner on Twitter.

I'm quite positive from the news that Cam is so close.

Dembele and Edwards out for so long is a real concern as they’re game changers.

We’ve got to hope Phillips & Placheta come good and also stay fit till Christmas….

Yes, true, we do need fit wingers badly.

Hopefully fully match fit by Boxing Day

 

[Bornyellow]

we’re going to have to be ruthless come January, we simply can’t afford to carry so many injury’s if we want to stay up. I assume any players outside of the 25 man squad still count fully towards our playing budget.

I've tried to tidy up the opening post a bit, pinned to the top, and renamed this thread. This could be useful to keep up-to-date.

Thanks @billyturleyscurlywurly for putting in the work to start the thread, much appreciated.

The new head of medical will be extremely busy when he/she gets here.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Hopefully three back by end of international break and Edwards not long after.
