Claude Puel provides an update on Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey’s horrific injury.
Against West Ham, the City right-back appeared to break his ankle horribly.
Claude Puel believes it is too early to predict whether Daniel Amartey will play again this season after suffering a horrible injury against West Ham.
During the 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium, the Leicester City right-back seemed to break his ankle while attempting to stop Michail Antonio from breaking away in stoppage time.
Amartey was given oxygen and stretchered away with his boot in a supporting cast as messages of encouragement poured in.
After complimenting the player for his performance and commitment in attempting to stop a rampaging Antonio, manager Puel also extended his support.
“My first thoughts are about Daniel,” he stated.
“I’m hoping it’s not a serious injury.” He needs to be evaluated, and then we’ll see what happens.
“Of course, he’s been to the hospital.” He played a terrific game and won all of the battles, but in the end he sacrificed to give the opponents a chance.
“It’s his game. He’s improved a lot this season, and I’m hoping he’ll be back soon. It’s too soon to say anything else.”
This season, Amartey has established himself as City’s right back, and he delivered a confident performance against the Hammers.
