AdminLeicester City manager Russell Martin has provided an update on Conor Chaplin’s fitness, with the forward continuing to make progress ahead of his potential return to first-team action.
Chaplin has been working his way back to full fitness, and Martin has offered an encouraging assessment of the striker’s current condition.
However, despite the positive signs, the Leicester boss insists the club will not rush the player back before he is fully ready.
With a busy schedule ahead, there is naturally a temptation to bring important players back into the squad as quickly as possible.
Martin, though, believes patience is essential to ensure Chaplin can return properly and avoid suffering any setback in his recovery.
Speaking about the player’s availability, Martin said: ‘He looks good, there is always a temptation to bring him back early but we have to be patient’
The manager’s comments will come as a boost to Leicester supporters, particularly with Chaplin expected to be an important option for the team once he is available again.
Martin will be hoping the forward can continue his rehabilitation without complications before being considered for selection.
Rather than taking unnecessary risks, Leicester appear determined to make sure Chaplin is in the best possible condition when he eventually returns to competitive football.
For now, supporters will have to wait a little longer, but Martin’s latest update suggests there are positive signs surrounding the player’s recovery.
