Overview
- Paul Nevin has left his assistant role, with Mark Robins thanking him for his work.
- Robins will lead the staffing process with consultation from Jon Walters and chairman John Coates, and he has set no timeline for appointments.
- The coaching model is under review, with the future of the in-possession/out-of-possession split undecided as candidates approach the club.
- Nine potential starters are unavailable for Leicester, including Viktor Johansson, Junior Tchamadeu, Bosun Lawal, Lewis Baker, Robert Bozenik, Sam Gallagher and Divin Mubama, and none are expected back imminently.
- Stoke have moved into upgraded Clayton Wood facilities after a reported £10m investment that Robins hopes will bolster injury prevention, as he prepares to face Gary Rowett’s Leicester side dealing with a six-point EFL deduction.
