Injuries to recent Leicester City players Callum Doyle, Dennis Praet, and Tom Cannon prior of their match against Liverpool
The most recent Leicester City news as the Carabao Cup third round matchup at Anfield is getting closer on Wednesday night.
This week, Leicester City is back in play right away in an effort to carry over their league form into cup events.
City will travel to Anfield to play Liverpool in the third round of the Carabao Cup after defeating Burton Albion and Tranmere Rovers earlier this season in the first and second rounds, respectively. The contest takes place four days after City defeated Bristol City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.
In light of their busy schedules, both teams are expected to make adjustments for the encounter against Liverpool. Conor Coady, a defender who has been out with an injury for the past three games but was chosen to the squad anyway, might get the chance to make his City debut as a result.

However, there is uncertainty around Callum Doyle, another defender. The loanee from Man City, who has started each of City’s games this season under Enzo Maresca, was taken off with a knee injury at halftime against Bristol City.
With that in mind, here is the latest news from the physio room at Seagrave. City are expected to be missing three players for the game.
What Maresca has said: “He had a problem in his knee,” the City boss said following the win over Bristol City. “On Monday they’re going to scan him and hopefully it’s nothing because he would be a big loss.”
Possible return date: Unknown
Dennis Praet
The midfielder has missed the last seven games in all competitions with a back injury. He picked up the problem in the lead up to the Championship clash against Huddersfield last month.
What Maresca has said : “It’s an important injury,” he said at the start of the month. “It’s probably between 10 and 12 weeks. It’s his back.”
Possible return date : vs Watford (H) November 25.
