Maresca: We Could Make Changes

- Enzo Maresca has provided an update on his Leicester City squad
- The Foxes take on AFC Bournemouth away in the Emirates FA Cup on Tuesday (7:30pm kick-off)
- Kasey McAteer is a doubt for the game with Andoni Iraola's Premier League side
- Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi are also out through injury

The Foxes head to Vitality Stadium for a 7:30pm kick-off on Tuesday in an outing which will test them against Premier League opposition. McAteer played in last Friday's defeat at Leeds United and could miss the trip south this week.

Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi, on the other hand, remain out through injury, while Maresca also confirmed that he is planning to make changes to his XI. Tuesday's clash will be followed by the Sky Bet Championship visit of QPR on Saturday.

"Kasey had some problems," the Italian told the media on Monday. "We don’t know if he can be available for tomorrow. Jamie’s injured. They said to me, it could be one week, 10 days, maybe two weeks, and Wilf is still injured."

Maresca said that Jannik Vestergaard will be available for selection in Bournemouth, with his two-game suspension for 10 yellow cards accrued through the season only set to come into effect in the league. 

Discussing his wider plans for Bournemouth, the former Parma manager also explained his selection considerations.

"We'll go strong," he added. "But for sure we are going to make changes. We are going to make nine, 10, 11 changes. There are players who deserve their chances. We’re going to prepare the game the best we can to win the game.

"We just need to make our best and try to win the game."
