Key City pair are sidelined by injuries
for tomorrow’s meeting with the Clarets, the first fixture at the King Power Stadium since the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the life of chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others.
The pair’s absence is a significant blow for Puel, with Maguire and Maddison having started every Premier League game so far this campaign.
In fact, this weekend’s league match will be the first Maguire has missed since joining the club in the summer of 2017.
Puel said the centre-back’s injury was the more serious of the two.
“Harry will not be available for this game and for the national team also,” said Puel. “It will also be the same for Maddison, he is not available for this game.
“All the other players in the squad, except Amartey and Matty James, will be available.
“We will see after the international break if they can come back in the team. Maguire’s is a little more serious than Maddison’s. We will see.
“Yes (it’s Maguire’s knee), from the Cardiff game. It will be a few weeks, we will make a point about his comeback after the international break. I do not have all the information about him.
“(Maddison) feels something the day after the Cardiff game. It’s not too serious but he will not play this game. It’s his knee, damage in the ligaments behind his knee.”
As the international break approaches, Chilwell looks set to earn his fourth and fifth England caps in a friendly against the USA on Thursday, November 15, and a Nations League clash with Croatia three days later.
