LeicestershireLive has the most recent news about Leicester City, as Chelsea will be without a key player when they play the Foxes in the FA Cup.
An injury to one of Chelsea’s best 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 last 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 out versus City following his second booking of the FA Cup this year, which came in the team’s victory against 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, would 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.
