Harry Winks - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Dropped from squad Winks was dropped from the squad due to a feud with managed Ruud van Nistelrooy, according to John Percy of The Telegraph.

Impact Winks has been a frequent member of the squad, though recently on the bench, but has now been dropped due to his refusal to move to Leicester. The midfielder commutes more than 100 miles each day to the training ground, something that manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has decided is unacceptable. Unless there's a resolution it's unclear if or when Winks will be selected again for the Foxes.

Available for selection Winks (groin) fully trained with the team and is available for selection, coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy said in the press conference.

Impact Winks missed the last four games with Leicester and could return to the starting lineup on Sunday against Wolverhampton. He has made 11 appearances this season, recording two assists, creating 13 chances, and delivering 16 corners. His return should provide a boost in Leicester's midfield and particularly on set pieces.

Back in training Winks (groin) was pictured in training ahead of Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Doubtful to face Magpies Winks (groin) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. "Doubtful, he's done parts of team training, today for example."

Impact Winks is a late call for Saturday, with the midfielder still not 100 percent fit from his groin issues. He did train this week, brining confidence he could be an option, although that appears it will come down to a late fitness test. That said, after a three-month absence and being a late call for the contest, he will probably only see a bench spot if fit.

Impact Winks is still recuperating well from a groin injur as he will miss the Brentford clash, as expected.

Impact Winks is likely facing a spell on the sidelines, with the midfielder having suffered a groin issue that will leave him out for at least a little bit. However, the club are still waiting on further results, just hoping he can avoided an extended absence. He has started in 10 of his 12 appearnces on the team sheet this season, so this will be a huge loss while he is out, with Olivier Skipp or Boubakary Soumare likley filling his spot in the starting XI.
