Leicester City were compelled to replace the attacking midfielder during their clash with Millwall at The Den. LCFC suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Lions in their most recent Championship encounter on Saturday afternoon following Femi Azeez’s first-half strike.
The Foxes currently sit 10th in the standings after their opening 12 matches. They remain just two points adrift of the play-off positions.
Ramsey, 22, is on loan at the King Power Stadium from Premier League newcomers Burnley and is set to spend the entire season in Leicestershire. He has made five league appearances so far this term, finding the back of the net twice.
However, he now appears set for a stint on the sidelines after feeling a ‘pop’ in his hamstring during the Millwall game. Leicester City will need to evaluate his condition in the coming days to determine the potential length of his absence.
In the latest update about his situation, Cifuentes stated, as reported by LeicestershireLive: “It’s difficult to say how bad it can be but definitely he felt a pop in his hamstring. It’s definitely a muscular injury but how bad it is we don’t know yet.”
Leicester City injury update on Aaron Ramsey:
Leicester City must run further checks on Ramsey after he was withdrawn against Millwall. LCFC will be hoping he won’t be sidelined for an extended period.
The Foxes brought him in during the last transfer window to strengthen their attacking options. His arrival added greater competition and depth in the final third.
Ramsey came through the academy ranks at Aston Villa, representing the club at various youth levels before making a single senior appearance. He also enjoyed loan spells at Cheltenham Town, Norwich City, and Middlesbrough to gain valuable Football League experience.
The former England youth international was acquired by Burnley in 2023 and has made 19 appearances for their first team. The Clarets secured promotion to the top flight last season under Scott Parker before sanctioning his temporary exit.
What next for Leicester City?
Leicester City will soon learn the full extent of Ramsey’s injury. In the meantime, LCFC will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
The Foxes have lost their previous two fixtures on the bounce against Hull City and Millwall. Improvement is essential soon, or pressure could begin to mount further on Cifuentes.
He was appointed as head coach earlier this year following the club’s decision to part company with Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Spaniard had left QPR at the end of May.
Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League last season after finishing in the bottom three alongside Ipswich Town and Southampton. They are now aiming for an immediate return to the top flight.
The Foxes are next in action this weekend when they host Blackburn Rovers at the King Power Stadium.
