Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is aware of he must be affected person for brand new signings within the January switch window.
Having signed only one outfield participant in the summertime, Rodgers is hoping for a number of reinforcements to his squad this month as they attempt to climb away from relegation hazard within the Premier League.
While work is happening behind the scenes, nothing is imminent forward of the Foxes’ FA Cup journey to Gillingham on Saturday lunchtime.
“We are working very hard behind the scenes to look to get the type of players that we want to bring in,” Rodgers stated.
“Nothing to report today but I certainly know there is a lot of work going on in order to help the squad.
“Every manager will tell you he wants them right at the beginning of the window but it is never as easy as that.
“It is very complex, but there is a lot of work that has to go on behind the scenes before the player comes in. That is what the club is trying to do and hopefully we can do that.
“It is just understanding the dynamics of it all. From a coaching and management perspective you want them in on the first day of the year.
“The supporters have had one outfield signing to talk about in the last couple of windows. So they know the team needs that reinforcement as well.
“Behind the scenes there is still work to do on the players we want to bring in, but if we can do that then it will be great news for the supporters as well.”
As effectively as incomings, Rodgers says gamers is also heading out of the King Power Stadium.
“Possibilities, there are players that may look to play but in order for that to happen, teams have to want those players, he said.
“It’s a bit of both. There may be some young players that want some loans but we will see as we go through the window.”
Leicester might be with out Boubakary Soumare and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at Priestfield.
“Obviously both Kiernan and Bouba are highly likely to be unavailable this weekend but we are just waiting for clarification on timescales those guys might be out,” Rodgers added.
“But certainly for the weekend they won’t be available.”
James Maddison can also be persevering with his restoration from the knee harm which hampered his World Cup marketing campaign.
“It is just slow at the moment with James, we have to go day by day on that,” he stated.
“He won’t be this week but we will see how he is next week. It is a day by day thing for James. We are hopeful that sooner or later he will be back, but it won’t be this weekend.”
