There was a sense of surety following Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League that they would eventually lose some of their key players, and that is exactly what happened. Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, and James Maddison all left, along with Boubakary Soumare, who had been recruited on loan by Sevilla on the final day of the season. Given how well the Foxes have started the 2023–24 Championship season, all four may be regretting their haste to leave them. Enzo Maresca’s team had four victories and one loss through their first five games, trailing leaders Preston North End by just one point and falling below Ipswich on goal differential. Leicester must be one of the favorites to be in the mix for promotion by the conclusion of the season since they play some very appealing football.
