The dark clouds refuse to lift over Leicester City, with wave after wave of unwelcome news continuing to swamp the club. Just when it seems like things might be turning a corner, another disappointment knocks the wind out of the Foxes’ sails.
Fans at the King Power Stadium, already wearied by a dismal run stretching back nearly a year, have had little to cheer about. Even promising moments—like the debut appearances of youngsters Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans—have been quickly overshadowed by fresh concerns. And now, to add salt to the wound, reports are suggesting that some of the squad’s most underwhelming performers could be sticking around next season.
Among them is a name that many supporters feel has let the team down this campaign: James Justin. Despite holding an England cap and carrying the weight of expectation, the fullback has struggled to impress throughout 2024/25. From inconsistency in defense to a perceived lack of urgency, Justin has been labeled by fans as one of the more disappointing figures in a squad that has underdelivered across the board.
Yet, according to a trusted Leicester insider, Justin may well remain part of the club’s plans for the 2025/26 season—even as others face the axe. While there’s cautious optimism about retaining useful players like Ricardo Pereira and Wanya Coulibaly for a possible Championship rebuild, the idea that Justin might continue to don the blue shirt has left many scratching their heads.
The Seagrave Training Centre may see something in Justin that the match-going faithful don’t—but from the stands, frustration is growing. Fans feel that if the club is serious about bouncing back, players who’ve failed to show consistent quality should be moved on, regardless of past glories or national team appearances.
For now, the only certainty seems to be that Leicester’s problems aren’t going away anytime soon—and that next season could bring more of the same if difficult decisions aren’t made.
