Manager Enzo Maresca stated that the trio’s status will be evaluated before the match, expressing hope for their potential return. He acknowledged the significant impact their absence could have on the team’s performance.
Vardy, the team’s top scorer, has encountered interruptions due to injuries throughout the season, despite scoring 16 goals in various competitions. Dewsbury-Hall, who has attracted attention from several clubs including Arsenal, Tottenham, and Brighton, has contributed 13 assists and 12 league goals this season.
