About this episode

Leicester City’s season just got a major setback as defender Ben Nelson faces a long layoff after tearing his ACL in a friendly — missing most of the 2026-27 campaign. Head coach Russell Martin calls it a huge blow, emphasizing full support for Nelson’s recovery while ramping up transfer activity to fill the center-back void. With Harry Souttar stepping into captaincy duties and Will Alves fit again, Martin’s squad is rallying around leadership and experience — especially from new signings Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin, who’s sidelined but could return soon. The pressure’s on to adapt fast — and fast is exactly what Leicester’s going to need.
