Mads Hermansen

Hermansen (groin) will remain sidelined for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa. "Mads won't be available. He's been assessed over the past week. He's been in his rehab programme. There's not a clear picture but he'll be out for a couple of weeks at least," coach Ruud van Nistelrooy said in the press conference.

Hermansen (groin) gave his best effort to be ready for the game but will need more time to recover from his injury, coach Ruud van Nistelrooy confirmed after Liverpool's clash. "Mads, it's something that I think he's going to need longer to recover from," he said. "He wants to try every time to see if he can make it, but I think it's an injury that's going to take a little bit more time. I want to give him that time, because we need a fully-fit Mads to help this club. We miss him, that's the quality we need. In the meantime, Jakub can do a great job. Today he did an excellent job, he couldn't have done better."

Hermansen (groin) is out for Thursday's match against Liverpool.

Hermansen (groin) was substituted at halftime during Leicester's heavy defeat at Newcastle earlier this month and was also absent for Sunday's loss to Wolves. Coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy updated his condition in a recent press conference, stating that while Hermansen is improving daily, an exact return date remains uncertain. "He is improving on a daily basis. We want him fit, but of course, you can't rush these things. We will see when he's 100 percent fit to perform for the team, and I'm confident it will be in the short term, but I don't know when," the coach said.

Hermansen (groin) is not in the squad to face Wolves on Sunday.
