Pereira has been excellent for Leicester City this season and the Foxes will certainly miss him. He is one of the best full-backs in the Premier League right now.
When the league resumes, Leicester will be looking to seal their place in the top four and they will have to work harder to win their games without their key players.
It will be interesting to see how Brendan Rodgers copes with the absence of a key defender.
Pereira is not just a good defender. He is very potent going forward as well. His style of play is integral to Leicester City’s attacking football.
The Foxes have had a good season so far and they will be looking to finish strongly. It remains to be seen how the Coronavirus situation pans out.
Currently, the major leagues are suspended until the start of the next month.
Meanwhile, some of the Leicester City fans have taken to Twitter to respond to Pereira’s post. Here is what they had to say.
Speedy recovery 💙
