BREAKING: “DRAMATIC EXIT? Senior Duo VANISH from Leicester Setup—We Might Have to Be Careful, But What’s Really Going On Behind Closed Doors Fans Are Already PANICKING!”

Patience will be required for the matchday comebacks of Aaron Ramsey and Harry Souttar despite their returns to training, Leicester City manager Gary Rowett has said.

Attacking midfielder Ramsey was pictured back on the grass at Seagrave this week and Rowett has confirmed that centre-back Souttar has now joined him.

Ramsey has not featured since the final fixture of 2025, when he tore his hamstring just four minutes after entering as a substitute in City’s victory over Derby. It marked only his third appearance following a two-month absence.

Souttar, meanwhile, has been out of action for 15 months. He spent a year recovering from an Achilles rupture, but then required minor surgery on a knee issue in January.

Rowett has indicated that they won’t be appearing in his matchday squad anytime soon.

The manager said after the 2-0 win over Bristol City: “I think Rammo and Harry Souttar, with those players, they’ve been out for a while and we have to be careful. Of course, I want to get everybody back in. You saw the bench, it looks a lot stronger. It gives me a lot better options. I spoke about that in game one.

“They’re terrific players and if we can get them back, fantastic. But I think the important thing is that when they eventually come back, they get a chance to stay back. So we might have to be careful.”

With Ramsey and Souttar back in training, just three City players now remain on the sidelines: Asmir Begovic, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen.

The increase in available players saw midfielder Louis Page return to the Under-21s this week. He started in a 2-2 draw with Newcastle on Monday.

Full-back Bade Aluko, who had been included in the City matchday squad for all of the previous 18 Championship fixtures, was also omitted from the group against Bristol City.
