just what we didn't need, Wilf may have a hamstring - http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wilfred-ndidi-assessed-after-suspected-598239
Where does that leave the midfield discussion? More grist to the midfield 3 approach I suspect, or the prospect of seeing a King/Amartey duo?
Oh great

Sh!t! Just one. Now that is some injury

Nigeria say he's fine; Leicester say "We'll be the judge of that, thank you".
Iborra and King then if he's not fit. Central midfield dominance isn't West Brom's calling card though, so hopefully we'd be able to cope.

Can we not loan Silva to ourselves?

"Is it just me or does Andy King look different? Must have picked up a tan on international duty."

Why don't we try a 6-1-3 formation. Iborra in front of a back 4 with wing backs. Then Vardy, Okazaki and Slimani chasing the hoofed balls from defence?

I think that formation and approach might just work.
As long as it doesn't include Andy King!

I do like Ndidi I do but I wonder if we over egg his performances because we were so bad pre him last season.
He's still very young and like others in the team will be a star but isn't quite there yet, a very interesting stat I saw today was that he is the most dribbled past defender in the Premier League, not really a stat any midfielder should want to be anywhere near the top of, obviously that includes 4 of the top six teams so slightly a slightly skewed stat the same as our form and League position.
I hope he's fit for Monday as we need every player we can get in midfield but sometimes enforced changes just work out.

Joby, I advise you to consider this observation very carefully, particularly the significance of it coming from me:
I think you may be a little obsessed with Andy King.

Panic over. Turns out his hamstring tear was actually cramp.
