Enzo Maresca was pleased with Conor Coady, Harry Souttar and Patson Daka as they returned to action in the EFL Cup.
Coady signed in the summer, from Wolverhampton Wanders, but had missed the beginning of the season due to injury.
In what he referred to as the first major injury of his career, he has been out since pre-season.
Souttar and Daka have been omitted from recent matchday squads for different reasons.
The centre-back was heavily linked to a move to Rangers but his wages became an issue as the SPFL club didn’t want to cover them.
Daka was heavily linked with a move away with several clubs including Bournemouth and Everton having interest in him.
In spite of all that, both remained at the King Power and are now being reintegrated into the Foxes team.
What has Enzo Maresca said about Coady, Daka and Souttar?
All three played a role as Leicester were knocked out in the EFL Cup, away at Anfield.
Coady and Souttar formed a central defensive partnership, while Daka came on to replace Kelechi Iheanacho on 64 minutes.
When asked about their returns, Maresca said: “I’m happy for Harry, happy for Conor, happy for Patson Daka, happy for all of them.”
The Foxes boss was very pleased with the performance, in spite of the loss, praising his players for their work.
On the challenge they faced, he said: “I’ve been here many times with many clubs. I was here last year. I know how difficult it is.
“How they work off the ball, they are unbelievable. We didn’t change, we came here and we tried to play.”
Souttar appeared to be all but gone in the summer, but surprisingly stayed with the club.
With the recent injury to Callum Doyle it may prove to be ideal that he didn’t depart.
Discussing the Australian, Maresca said: “Yeah, Harry is our player. He is one of the players in the squad. For sure he could be an option.”
Moving forward all three will play their part and hopefully contribute to a promotion campaign.
